Army plan does not include timeline, report says
The plan that the army will present in today's cabinet session does not include a timetable, LBCI reported Friday.
"The army cannot commit to a fixed deadline as the implementation of the plan depends on logistics, operational resources, and the situation on the ground," the TV channel said, adding that its sources have refuted a report (published Wednesday in ad-Diyar) claiming that Hezbollah's disarmament would start from Beirut.
"The army cannot begin in any area before completing its mission in the south," LBCI sources said.
Hezbollah had said it would not accept any timetable on handing over its weapons to the Lebanese state while Israeli strikes continue, while Washington is pressing Lebanon to take action on the matter, with U.S. envoy Tom Barrack presenting officials with a proposal that includes a timetable for Hezbollah's disarmament.
