Israel declares intent to occupy southern Lebanon up to the Litani River
Lebanon's central government must disarm Hezbollah or lose territory
Change
Israel has declared occupation of southern Lebanon up to the Litani River as an operational objective.
Why it matters
Israel has set territorial control up to the Litani River as an operational objective and warned Lebanon's central government it will lose territory if it does not disarm Hezbollah. Israeli strikes have caused widespread destruction across southern Lebanon and parts of Beirut and have killed more than 1,000 people.
Implications
- — Lebanon's central government must move immediately to disarm or neutralise Hezbollah units or, per Israel's stated intent, face loss of territory to Israeli occupation up to the Litani River.
- — Hezbollah's military commanders must halt cross-border attacks immediately or, by Israel's declared policy, trigger Israeli occupation operations extending to the Litani River.
