Hezbollah ‘Over 90 Percent’ Eliminated From Lebanon-Israel Border

Over 90 percent of Hezbollah’s infrastructure near the border with Israel has been dismantled by the Lebanese Army in efforts to fulfill the conditions of the November ceasefire, security personnel told France 24 on Wednesday.

At war: Hezbollah, an Iran-backed organization, launched an offensive into northern Israel on Oct. 8, 2023, the day after Hamas, also backed by Iran, invaded Israel from the south. Sixty thousand Israelis were displaced by the hostilities that lasted for a year before a ceasefire brokered by France and the United States was agreed to.

As part of the truce deal agreed to in November, all Hezbollah’s operations were to be shut down in southern Lebanon and their arms confiscated.

The removal of Hezbollah operatives and arms was to occur south of the River Litani, 25 miles from Lebanon’s border with Israel. An anonymous official told France 24 that additional security had been placed on crossing points into the area south of the Litani to prevent Hezbollah from remilitarizing the region in the future.

Clearing the way: The Bible prophesies of Iran’s influence in Lebanon being replaced by a very different force—a militarized European superpower.

With Hezbollah almost entirely cleared out of southern Lebanon, Iran’s power in the nation is rapidly declining, clearing the way for Lebanon to align more closely with Europe.
