Lebanon says army will begin implementing Hezbollah disarmament plan

The Lebanese military will begin implementing its plan to disarm Iran-backed Hezbollah, information minister Paul Morcos said following a government session discussing the matter on Friday.

“The Lebanese army will begin implementing the (Hezbollah disarmament) plan, but in accordance with the available capabilities, which are limited in terms of logistics, material and human resources,” Morcos said when speaking to journalists after the session.

The cabinet decided to keep the details of the army’s plan “secret” according to a statement read by Morcos.
