The Lebanese army has located tunnels and weapons stockpiles both north and south of the Litani River and is ready to take full responsibility for border monitoring, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told Al Jazeera on Monday.
Aoun said Israel must be pressured to uphold its commitments, noting that the army has not fully deployed along the border because “Israel is occupying five points.”
Addressing calls to disarm Hezbollah, Aoun said any enforcement of state monopoly on arms must be achieved through dialogue, not force. He added that normalization with Israel was not discussed.
