Three days before the Lebanese government session, attention turns to Baabda where Army Commander General Rudolf Heikal will present his plan to confine weapons to the state.

The anticipated session, intended to pass unanimously without a vote, remains surrounded by communications and consultations, with positions fluctuating between full approval of the plan or merely acknowledging it.

So far, ministers from the “Shia duo” (Amal Movement and Hezbollah) are expected to attend but refuse to discuss plan details if it includes implementation deadlines.

“Halting Cooperation South of the Litani”

Meanwhile, Hezbollah sent warning signals through its media channel Al-Manar last night. Its sources warned that “if the government insists on including deadlines in the plan, Hezbollah will not cooperate even in the south Litani area.”

They also accused Prime Minister Nawaf Salam of “insisting on an approach that may lead to the country’s destruction, despite advice from some inside and outside Lebanon,” according to their statement.

Former Deputy Chief of Staff for Planning, retired Brigadier General Ziad Al-Hashem, explained in statements yesterday to Al Arabiya.net/Al Hadath.net that “the recent experience in the south Litani sector indicated Hezbollah’s incomplete cooperation with the weapon confinement process, as army and UNIFIL patrols discovered many weapons caches and fortified hidden military facilities (infrastructure). During dismantling, incidents occurred including an ammunition depot explosion involving Lebanese Army engineering regiment personnel, meaning Hezbollah did not inform the army about the depot’s contents or existence.”

It is worth noting that the government approved at the beginning of last month (August 2025) the confinement of weapons to the state and tasked the army with developing an implementation plan by the end of this year.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah confirmed its adherence to keeping its weapons, hinting at confrontation and describing the decision as a grave sin.
