Israel will gradually withdraw from south Lebanon if the Lebanese Army disarms Hezbollah and efforts are ongoing to eliminate any threat from Hezbollah, an Israeli official said on Monday.
“We will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild its strength again,” the official told Al-Arabiya television.
“If the Lebanese Army does not remove Hezbollah’s weapons south of the Litani, we will do so,” the official added.
