Six Lebanese soldiers killed in depot blast amid Hezbollah disarmament efforts.
Six Lebanese soldiers were killed in an explosion while inspecting a weapons depot in southern Lebanon, an incident occurring amid efforts to dismantle Hezbollah’s military infrastructure as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel. The Lebanese army is collaborating with UN peacekeepers to disarm Hezbollah, a task the group has rejected, asserting it serves Israeli interests. The explosion highlights the precarious situation in Lebanon, as tensions remain high and the Lebanese government faces challenges in enforcing disarmament. Condolences were expressed from both the Lebanese Prime Minister and UNIFIL mission head, emphasizing the need for stability and the ongoing support for Lebanese Armed Forces in restoring order.
