Lebanese Government Bans Hezbollah's Military Operations Amid Renewed TensionsThe Lebanese government has formally prohibited all military and security operations conducted by Hezbollah, marking a significant policy shift regarding the influential organization. In an official televised statement, the Lebanese Prime Minister announced that the cabinet had unanimously agreed to classify any military and security activity by Hezbollah as illegal. Following the assassination of Iran's supreme leader, Hezbollah launched a series of rocket attacks into Israeli territory. This prompted the Israeli military to carry out retaliatory strikes on multiple sites in Lebanon, including neighborhoods in southern Beirut known for Hezbollah's presence. A cycle of retaliatory attacks ensued, leading to open conflict by autumn 2024 and severely weakening Hezbollah's military capacity.
