Lebanon's army asks for $3bn but has 'nothing real' so far (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly two years after the November 2024 cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel, the Lebanese Armed Forces face a growing gap between the responsibilities they have been asked to assume and the international support provided to them. The army has been tasked with extending state authority across Lebanon, beginning with the area south of the Litani River, while preparing to assume wider responsibilities as the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, Unifil, approaches the end of its mand
What Israel’s 'operational control' of strategic hill really means for Hezbollah and Lebanon (opens the original)
