Israeli security officials are reportedly considering allowing the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) to take control of a Hezbollah tunnel compound in the southern village of Tebnit.
The move, cited by N12, would serve as a critical test of the Lebanese army’s willingness and ability to act against the militant group, a key precondition for any lasting ceasefire agreement.
The potential transfer of authority comes as diplomatic efforts intensify.
A senior Lebanese official recently informed the United States that Hezbollah is prepared to agree to a full ceasefire with Israel.
This development aligns with broader diplomatic maneuvering aimed at de-escalating tensions along the border.
The Tebnit compound is part of a sophisticated underground network previously identified by Handelsavisen as a Hezbollah drone base located just kilometers from the Israeli border.
