Lebanon has rejected Israel's allegations that it failed to control Hezbollah activity south of the Litani River. According to the Lebanese army, Israel is spreading misinformation after claiming Beirut had not disarmed the militant group in the region as per a ceasefire agreement. On October 20, 2026, the Israeli occupation posted baseless claims on its X platform page about the Lebanese Army's operations in the south of the Litani, questioning its ability to fulfill assigned tasks.
The Lebanese army reaffirmed its commitment to the agreement and accused Israel of continued attacks and violations. Israeli military spokesperson Ella Waweya had earlier accused Lebanon's military of failing to curb Hezbollah's activity in the area. The allegations coincide with US-mediated talks between Lebanon and Israel.
