Israel Presses Lebanon Army for Intrusive Hezbollah Arms Searches

Israel Presses Lebanon Army for Intrusive Hezbollah Arms Searches

Imagine two neighbors, Israel and Lebanon, who agreed to stop fighting last year.

Part of the deal was for Lebanon to get rid of all the weapons belonging to a group called Hezbollah.

Israel thinks Lebanon's army isn't looking hard enough for these weapons and wants them to search people's houses, like a very thorough police search.

But the Lebanese army is worried that searching homes will make their own people angry and cause big problems, potentially even another fight.

They believe they are doing a good job finding weapons in other places, like forests and valleys.

Israel is worried Hezbollah is getting stronger again and says they will defend themselves if needed.

The United States is also involved, trying to help both sides talk to each other and find a peaceful solution.
