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 era of “the war decision outside state control” has ended, Lebanese sources said on Friday, shortly before a key cabinet session on arms monopolization.

“The army’s plan is the start of the arms monopolization course and there will be a continuous revision for improving it,” the sources told Al-Arabiya television.

The Lebanese Army’s weapons monopolization plan is not complete and it resembles “half a plan,” diplomatic sources told MTV.

“It will be discussed in today’s cabinet session and the debate will be adjourned to a later date to allow for further scrutiny of its clauses and terms in a profound manner,” the sources said.

Lebanon’s leaders are running out of time to disarm Hezbollah before they risk losing U.S. and Gulf Arab financial support, and even a renewed Israeli military campaign, the New York Times quoted U.S. officials as saying, ahead of a key cabinet meeting in Beirut on Friday.

The warning comes at what U.S. officials call a critical moment in Lebanon’s history, as the country’s cabinet considers a plan to force Hezbollah to surrender its weapons.

President Joseph Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and PM Nawaf Salam have agreed that there should be “flexible discussions” in the key cabinet session that will tackle the army’s weapons monopoly plan on Friday, informed sources said.

“One of the Shiite Duo’s ministers will deliver remarks during the session reminding of the need to reverse the previous decisions. If the Duo succeeds in its endeavor, it won’t withdraw from the session,” the sources told Al-Jadeed TV.

The government is set to discuss on Friday an army plan to disarm Hezbollah, which the Iran-backed group opposes, accusing the cabinet of playing into the hands of Israel and the United States.

In August, under heavy U.S. pressure and fearing Israel would intensify its strikes, the government ordered the army to draw up a plan for disarming Hezbollah by the end of the year.

Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon killed at least four people on Wednesday, the health ministry and state media said, after a morning Israeli drone attack on United Nations peacekeepers.

Israel regularly bombs Lebanon despite a November ceasefire that ended over a year of hostilities with Iran-backed Hezbollah.

One of the proposals for implementing the Lebanese Army’s plan for disarming Hezbollah and the other armed groups suggests starting from Beirut, where the army would place monitors for Hezbollah’s arms depots and declare that they have become in the Lebanese state’s custody, ad-Diyar newspaper reported on Wednesday.

“Based on this step, Lebanon would ask Israel to implement a step in return,” the daily added.

Hezbollah and Amal's ministers are inclined to attend a government's session that will discuss the army's plan for Hezbollah's disarmament this Friday, Hezbollah Minister Mohammad Haydar said.

"Amal and Hezbollah are however awaiting responses to some concerns related to the topics that will be discussed, and whether they attend or not greatly depends on the developments, Haydar said in an interview, confirming that high-level talks are ongoing before the thorny session.

France on Wednesday condemned an Israeli drone attack near U.N. Interim Force members in Lebanon, and called for the security of peacekeepers to be respected.
