Hezbollah warns Lebanon against expanding disarmament push

Hezbollah warns Lebanon against expanding disarmament push

Hezbollah, a powerful group in Lebanon, has warned the Lebanese government not to try to take away their weapons in areas outside the south of the country.

They say this could cause big problems, like chaos or even a civil war.

Hezbollah only agreed to give up some weapons in the south as part of a deal to end a war with Israel.

They want Israel to leave Lebanese land, stop bombing Lebanon, and free Lebanese prisoners before they talk about giving up more weapons.

The Lebanese army has taken control of the area near the border with Israel, but Hezbollah says they won't give up their weapons elsewhere until their conditions are met.

This is all happening because of fighting that started after a war in Gaza in October 2023.
