Israel wants US-led force to disarm Lebanon's Hezbollah
Fearing a security vacuum if UN peacekeepers leave southern Lebanon when their mandate expires December 31, the Lebanese government is desperately seeking an extension of the United Nations Interim Force (UNIFIL) or the creation of a European-led multinational force to take its place. Israel, which has occupied dozens of villages south of the Litani River since its latest invasion of the country earlier this year can't wait for the Blue Helmets to leave. It has long lobbied against UNIFIL’s extension, deeming it ineffective in taming and disarming Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia. But Tel Aviv hasn't opposed an international force once UNIFIL leaves; it just doesn’t want one tied to the UN. Israel is lobbying for a U.S.-led force, while the Lebanese government prefers a European-led mission to aid the Lebanese army if UNIFIL’s mandate is not renewed or extended. An even bigger question is how exactly any such force can subdue battle-hardened Hezbollah, the country’s most powerful armed force. The group has long enjoyed widespread support in the Shiite community, which makes up about a third of the country’s total population. Days before the UN General Assembly meeting in New York this week, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun visited Paris where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron and Jordan's King Abdullah. They discussed the need for the continued presence of foreign troops and the importance of making that clear to President Donald Trump. Israel occupied five key points in Southern Lebanon after Hezbollah joined the war between Israel and Hamas in 2023. Israel rained bombs on a region inhabited mostly by Shiite Lebanese and forced them to flee to other parts of the country. A ceasefire was inked first in November last year although Israel never fully stopped bombing. Clashes broke out again in March after U.S. and Iran assassinated Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and Hezbollah attacked Israel, offering it an excuse it needed to keep the war going and a justification to hold the occupied territory. The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) are ill-equipped to push back against the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the south. Residents there fear that UNIFIL's withdrawal could leave them vulnerable to a prolonged or even permanent Israeli presence. UNIFIL's exit would also mean losing a neutral party and "the world's eyes and ears" in a region where misunderstandings can quickly escalate into armed conflict. Roughly 7,500 troops from 46 countries have monitored airspace violations and land incursions, offering a vital de-escalation liaison since the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war. Moreover, UNIFIL troops have served as a lifeline for people in Lebanese villages who refused to leave their homes after the Israelis arrived and established their “security zone.” For instance, UN troops navigate Israeli checkpoints to deliver humanitarian aid, medicine, and food convoys to the residents of a Christian town called Rmeich. Their departure could halt the delivery of supplies and sever the link between these villages and the rest of the country. Considering the circumstances, an extension of six months to a year appears to be a reasonable ask. But Israel is preoccupied with disarming Hezbollah and seemingly unconcerned about Lebanon’s internal political dynamics. It has long derided UNIFIL as ineffective and has been waiting for it to leave. It got its wish last year, when, under U.S. pressure, the UN Security Council extended UNIFIL's mandate only until the end of this year. Since it was created in 1978 after the first Israeli invasion of Lebanon, UNIFIL has always been an irritant for Israel. It was reinforced after the 2006 war under UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which called for the area between the Blue Line — the de facto Israel-Lebanon border — and the Litani River to be completely demilitarized apart from deployments there by the LAF and UNIFIL. Israel, which was supposed to withdraw its forces from the area as the LAF and UNIFIL deployed there insists that the peacekeepers never fully enforced the resolution, while UNIFIL argues it was never tasked with forcibly disarming Hezbollah. This has been a source of major tension between Israel and the UN, and, by extension, with Lebanon. Now, Israel wants a force empowered to disarm Hezbollah, militarily if necessary, and prefers a U.S.-led mechanism to carry that out. A problem with that plan, however, lies in Washington’s unwillingness to deploy its own troops. Europeans, on the other hand, are willing to provide troops, as they have in the past, but prefer to deploy them under a UN mandate. However, if Israel manages to convince Washington to keep the UN out – which Washington can do by virtue of its veto power on the Security Council – the Europeans will likely resort to a “coalition of the willing” model – mustering a group of countries willing to deploy troops and aid the LAF on a multilateral basis. Several European countries have already established an Italian-led technical military support group to aid the LAF and enhance its capacity. The European Union (EU) has said that more than 10 countries are ready to contribute troops to a post-UNIFIL international force. The UN itself has tabled three options with varying numbers of uniformed soldiers constituting the actual force who would also be accompanied by armed soldiers for force protection. It has also listed requirements for monitoring equipment such as radars, helicopters, and satellite imagery. The proposal calls for a deployment that ranges from 2000 to 5000 troops, depending on the plan. Under the first option, UN troops could potentially conduct joint operations with the LAF even north of the Litani River, closer to Beirut. The second option proposes "some" joint operational activities with the LAF, only south of the Litani, although it also offers verification of any violations of UNSCR Resolution 1701 north of the river "on a limited basis." The third would have more limited means, and limited capacity to coordinate between the IDF and the LAF. The key question, however, remains unanswered: What kind of joint operations are European nations willing to carry out alongside the LAF? Israel does not trust the LAF’s willingness or ability to disarm Hezbollah and wants an international force capable of carrying out a door-to-door search and seizure of Hezbollah's weapons. That is a risky undertaking for any international forces, however. EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas said the objective of such a force is to "strengthen the Lebanese armed forces and the ability of the Lebanese state to provide security across its territory." That presumably covers less dangerous tasks, such as training and providing key equipment. There is no clarity on what an international post-UNIFIL force would eventually look like. But several plans could potentially merge: the U.S. could join a UN-led mission composed of European forces. Israel hopes that Washington will at least provide its state-of-the-art satellite surveillance systems to ensure Hezbollah’s adherence to UNSCR 1701. And it demands that any post-UNIFIL force operate with a much stronger mandate and more teeth than either the EU or the UN have so far proposed. But the kind of force Israel wants – one that will go door to door to disarm Hezbollah – is a nightmare for the Lebanese government which is worried. A large number of Shiites in the country support Hezbollah. Any such force may have to confront Hezbollah’s supporters and that may lead to civilian casualties, even a civil war. Moreover, Shiites are a part of the LAF, a coercive disarmament could lead to mutiny. And if Israel’s plan is to occupy southern Lebanon indefinitely, as some top Israeli officials have suggested, Tel Aviv risks strengthening Hezbollah and its calls for resistance, while weakening the state authorities. Improving ties with Beirut is Tel Aviv's best shot at achieving a mutually acceptable arrangement that ushers in a functioning peace. Disarming Hezbollah is not solely a military endeavor; it will require a painstaking intra-Lebanese political process that eases concerns among the Shiites about their standing in a deeply sectarian society. Regional actors, such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia, will also want a say. And the elephant in the room will have to be addressed at some point. Iran will not just walk away and abandon Hezbollah, an ally, especially not when it appears to be winning the war started by the US and Israel.
Israel wants US-led force to disarm Lebanon's HezbollahMacron hosts Lebanon security talks to back ‘indispensable’ army
Smoke rises from the site of a controlled explosion carried out by Israeli forces in the village of Al Mansouri, southern Lebanon.—AFP PARIS: The leaders of France, Lebanon and Jordan on Thursday met in Paris to drum up international support for the cash-strapped Lebanese army which President Emmanuel Macron described as “indispensable” for bringing stability to the country. Also on the agenda was the creation of a new force to succeed a longstanding UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon, where Israel is locked in fighting with Hezbollah fighters. Macron welcomed Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and King Abdullah II of Jordan to Paris for the talks. They were later joined by chiefs of defence staff from Lebanon, Jordan, France, Britain and Italy, as well as top US and Saudi officials, a French military source said. Macron said that the talks aimed to “strengthen Lebanon’s sovereignty and enable it to fully ensure its security”, after years during which political factions, such as Hezbollah, wielded greater authority than the Lebanese state. “A sovereign and stable Lebanon is a decisive step toward peace and stability for the entire region,” Macron wrote in a statement on X. Along with the Lebanese and Jordanian leaders and “in close coordination” with the US, Saudi Arabia and international partners, “we support the Lebanese Armed Forces, which are indispensable for asserting the authority of the Lebanese state across its entire territory,” he added. The French presidency said the aim of the Paris talks was to review a Lebanese armed forces deployment plan based on a “clear, credible and realistic” framework. Paris said it wanted this as a prerequisite for what it hopes will be “robust” international support, whether in the form of financial assistance, equipment or training. The poorly equipped Lebanese forces have struggled to carry out their mission of disarming Hezbollah in the south, which is a key condition for Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Aoun has repeatedly mentioned his determination to disarm Hezbollah, but “without a confrontation”. In a statement, the Lebanese presidency said Aoun felt “deep satisfaction” with the progress achieved in Paris. He “expressed his hope that the needs of the Lebanese army and Internal Security Forces… would receive the necessary response from brotherly and friendly nations and entities”. The talks also come as the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) ends this year after almost half a century of operations dating back to the Israeli invasion of 1978. Last year, the UN Security Council, under US pressure, decided to end UNIFIL’s mandate on Dec 31, 2026. France and Italy have said they want to set up a multinational coalition to succeed UNIFIL. The force has just under 7,500 peacekeepers from 46 countries. Aoun said this week that Lebanon wanted a new force, European or otherwise, to prevent a security vacuum after the UN peacekeepers leave south Lebanon. Published in Dawn, September 18th, 2026

Lebanon’s Shia refugees don’t know where to turn
Lebanon’s Shia refugees don’t know where to turn The World Today iallan.drupal 8 September 2026 Lebanese fleeing the country’s south are caught between the Israeli occupation and Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm. But for those seeking refuge in Beirut, further struggles await, writes Lemma Shehadi. Beirut’s Sports City was built in the 1950s to host major regional games. In July, rows of tents lined the galleries beneath the abandoned stadium’s upper tier, sheltering hundreds of families displaced from southern Lebanon by an Israeli war against the Lebanese militia Hezbollah that began in March this year. This was the second war in two years – the first followed Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel in 2023. Though a ceasefire agreement is holding, Ali Adame, who has lived at the Sports City stadium with his wife for four months, does not know when he can go back to his village of Joueia. Those who go back find destruction, ruins and martyrs. There’s sorrow everywhere, but this is our fate. Ali Adame, refugee from the south now living in Beirut. His home has been destroyed, and basic services such as water and electricity are no longer available. ‘Of course we’ll go back, we’re just waiting for things to be sorted out,’ he said. ‘Those who go back find destruction, ruins and martyrs. There’s sorrow everywhere. But this is our fate.’ His family are among 300 people that in July were still in the shelter that is run by the Lebanese Red Cross with support from the Ministry of Social Affairs. While most displaced people in Lebanon are renting or staying with family members, those in shelters are some of the most vulnerable. Adame is receiving treatment for his health conditions at the shelter, but he believes that going back to Joueia is his duty as a Shia from southern Lebanon. ‘The south for us is sacred,’ he said. ‘They destroy it and we go back and rebuild. This is the path we will walk. The land there is precious, it has cost us blood.’ Cost of recovery The challenge of Lebanon’s post-war reconstruction is immense. Hezbollah joined the Israeli-Gaza war by launching rockets into Israel, triggering a full-scale Israeli offensive the following year. The group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed and its armed forces significantly weakened. Yet Hezbollah launched further rockets into Israel in response to the United States’ air-strikes on Iran earlier this year, causing a second war. Many displaced by the 2024 offensive hadn’t returned, while others were displaced for a second time in two years. — Ali Adame, right, with fellow displaced person Hassan Abdel Hadi. Adame has lived in Sports City stadium for four months since his home was destroyed. Photo: Lemma Shehadi. The chance of help from beyond Lebanon’s borders is slim. After Hezbollah’s devastating war with Israel in 2006, Saudi Arabia and Qatar were the main contributors to the fund to rebuild southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern suburbs known as the Dahiya. But support on this scale from the Gulf or the international community is unlikely to be forthcoming this time without the disarmament of Hezbollah. For decades, the Iran-backed militia has operated as a state within a state, dragging the country into armed conflicts with Israel, supporting the Assad regime during the Syrian civil war and killing its critics and opponents in Lebanon. The Lebanese government is itself bankrupt from a financial crisis in 2019 that led to soaring inflation. Its banks have frozen depositor’s assets since then. The government’s priority before these two wars was to seek an International Monetary Fund package that would allow repayment to depositors. Crisis for Lebanon’s Shias Hezbollah’s disarmament is key to an Israeli withdrawal, and to rehabilitating the country in the eyes of the US and international community. The Israeli military currently occupies a buffer zone that stretches 10km into Lebanese territory. Yet efforts by Lebanese president Joseph Aoun’s government to negotiate disarmament do not look promising. Hezbollah insists that its armed resistance is needed and that the Lebanese army is not strong enough to protect the south from Israeli occupation. 15% of Lebanon’s population have been displaced from the south in the past two years. Over a million people – more than 15 per cent of the country’s population – have been displaced from the south in the past two years, and Lebanon’s government faces a long-term displacement crisis it can ill afford. Beirut and its surrounding towns in the Mount Lebanon area absorbed the largest share of displaced populations – 37.5 per cent and 32.4 per cent respectively – according to the government’s Disaster Rescue and Management Committee (DRM). Though large numbers have returned to cities in southern Lebanon since the June ceasefire, it is not yet known how many will eventually be able to go back to their homes and villages. Of the nearly 17,000 living in government-run shelters, the majority are in Beirut and the district of Metn to the east. Statements from officials including the Israeli defence minister Israel Katz suggest that up to 600,000 people could be prevented from returning if Israel does not withdraw from its so-called Yellow Line buffer zone, in southern border villages south of the Litani river. And this is unlikely to happen if Hezbollah refuses to give up its arms. Shortfalls in international funding, as foreign aid budgets are squeezed, are adding to the problems. The 2026 UN Flash Appeal sought to raise $308 million, of which only 60 per cent had been secured by May this year, against a 90 per cent coverage rate in 2024, according to the DRM. If Israel and Lebanon only agree a military containment like a ceasefire, then people will be afraid to go back. Mark Daou, Lebanese MP. The government is having to deal with other consequences as well. ‘People will need a lot of support, there will be pressure on younger people to go to work instead of going further in their education,’ said Mark Daou, a Lebanese reformist party MP. ‘Emigration will be rampant. The number of young men killed is high - many of those are married or of working age. You have widows and kids who need to be provided for.’ The crisis strikes at the heart of Lebanon’s Shia communities which – like Adame – are native to Jabal Amel, the hills surrounding the Litani river. The researcher and archivist Abbas Hadla says it is the first time that the people of Jabal Amel have no idea when they will be able to return. ‘The Israelis in this war … left villages that aren’t suitable for life,’ he said. ‘This gives people the impression that it’s more than an occupation, that there could be a demographic change happening.’ And this is in a country where such demographic movements have had a significant political impact in the past. US–Israel war The unpredictable Iran–US ceasefire talks loom large over all of this. Iran has sought to include an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon as part of its agreement, and experts fear this could help Iran consolidate its control of the country and make Hezbollah’s disarmament less likely. Others hope the ongoing direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel in Washington will result in an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon with reparations to help rebuild, in exchange for guarantees to Israel’s security and Hezbollah’s disarmament. A phased withdrawal is being worked out. In July, Israeli forces retreated from two villages within the buffer zone after an agreement with Lebanon. The talks have two possible outcomes, according to Daou, the MP. The first is a peace agreement with ‘major financial incentives’. The alternative is a ceasefire that prolongs the state of war. ‘[People] would accept an agreement for years to come that would allow them to reconstruct their livelihoods, their villages, their land and everything else,’ he said. ‘If it’s only a military containment like a ceasefire, then the state of war remains and people will be afraid to go back.’ A long crisis There are signs people are giving up hope of returning home. ‘We’ve entered a long crisis,’ said Mohammed, owner of a spice shop who fled his town of Qabrikha with his wife when the war started earlier this year. He is now living in a rented apartment in Beirut and works as a handyman. His town is within the Israeli-occupied buffer zone on Lebanon’s southern border, demarcated by the Yellow Line. ‘Nobody dares go back and rebuild. We don’t know if the war has really ended,’ he said. We’ve fled twice now beneath the airstrikes and bombs. We’re not always going to be lucky. Mohammed, former shop owner and refugee in Beirut. Mohammed was first displaced during Israel’s war with Hezbollah in 2024, and though his shop was destroyed then, he went back. He was forced to flee again in March, when Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel, triggering the latest war. This time, it was his wife’s hair salon in Qabrikha that took a hit, leaving nothing for them to go back to. His son, who is in the Lebanese army, works in a town north of Beirut. ‘Our plan now is to move to a new place entirely. The issue in the south will be a long one, it’s not safe. We’ve fled twice now beneath the airstrikes and bombs. We’re not always going to be lucky.’ Driving his decision is the lack of clarity from authorities about whether it is safe to return. ‘It’s clear from the [political] parties and the municipalities that we have not yet moved on to a new phase,’ he said. ‘There’s no decision on what to do about the people whose homes have been destroyed. They haven’t replaced the electricity generators, or the water networks. They bought water tanks and placed them in the town square.’ Yet Mohammed feels tensions in Beirut as he searches for a more comfortable apartment for his family. In the 2024 war, many refugees were taken into people’s homes. But people now are more cautious after Israel attacked buildings outside of Hezbollah strongholds that had been rented by Iranian or Lebanese militants. ‘People are scared. Not just of who they rent to, but who could come to visit those people. It’s not discrimination, it’s fear,’ Mohammed said. Preserving Shia identity The cumulative effect of decades of conflict and displacement means the recovery of the south will not just be about rebuilding, but will have psychological and cultural dimensions, according to Hadla, the archivist, who is director of Umam, a research centre based in the Dahiya. Umam’s founder Luqman Slim, a Shia critic of Hezbollah, was assassinated in 2021, days after he received death threats for his work looking into Hezbollah’s connections to the Beirut Port explosion of 2020.
Lebanon’s Shia refugees don’t know where to turnIsrael-Lebanon talks postponed until October
BEIRUT: Talks between Israel and Lebanon that were scheduled to take place in Rome next week have been postponed and will instead be held in October, Axios reported on Friday, citing a US official. Jewish holidays, a Paris conference and preparations for the United Nations General Assembly prevented participants from convening in Rome, Axios cited a source as saying. The Lebanese and Israeli ambassadors are expected to meet in Washington, accorgdin to a post on X. The delay came as Lebanese President Joseph Aoun made a surprise visit to the country’s south on Saturday, pledging to secure an Israeli withdrawal and rebuild the area after Israel captured and destroyed a nearby Hezbollah position. Lebanese official media said Aoun arrived unannounced in the city of Nabatieh, accompanied by security officials including army chief Rodolphe Haykal. The visit was his first to the south since fighting began between Israel and Hezbollah. During the visit, Aoun expressed solidarity with residents of Nabatieh, many of whom have fled the area, according to footage broadcast by Lebanese media. He praised workers at Nabatieh Governmental Hospital, saying they were risking their lives to provide medical services. “We stand by your side, and we are looking into how to provide all the necessary services so that you can remain here safely,” Aoun said, according to a statement from the presidency. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah had eased between late June and last week following a US-sponsored framework agreement between Israel and Lebanon. However, the Israeli military has recently intensified strikes, particularly in the Nabatieh region. On Thursday, Israeli forces blew up underground Hezbollah fortifications on the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge. The explosion was large enough to trigger a tremor detected by seismic monitoring agencies. Israeli strikes in the area have killed at least 29 people in recent days, including 12 members of the same family. The Lebanese army warned on Wednesday that Israel’s actions threatened the implementation of the framework agreement. Published in Dawn, September 13th, 2026

ARABSALIM: Lebanese President Joseph Aoun urged Washington and the international community to help stop Israeli attacks after strikes on Sunday killed at least seven people despite a truce and an Israel-Lebanon deal. Mr Aoun said Sunday’s strikes, which damaged government premises and destroyed an out-of-service hospital, were “a dangerous escalation… reaching Lebanese state institutions” and health facilities. He called on the international community and in particular the United States, which has sponsored direct Israel-Lebanon talks and a framework agreement between the sides in June, “to urgently act to stop these violations”. Lebanon’s health ministry said five people were killed in strikes on south Lebanon’s Nabatieh al-Fawqa, with two women also killed in nearby Arab Salim.

National News Agency (NNA) said that after the Israeli warning for Arab Salim, “enemy warplanes launched a strike on another house” and killed the two women. It said the Israeli military subsequently carried out a strike on the building threatened in the evacuation warning. The NNA also reported a strike on a motorcycle in the Nabatieh area and said an airstrike on Nabatieh city targeted a historical building and damaged offices belonging to finance and agriculture authorities.
