Hezbollah Dismisses Lebanon's Move to Restrict Arms
Lebanon's recent decision to implement restrictions on the importation and use of weapons has been met with strong opposition from Hezbollah, who view it as a 'grave sin.' The country's prime minister, Hamadi Mansour, announced that the new measures would focus on tightening controls and ensuring that all weapons entering the country are authorized by security agencies. These steps aim to address concerns over weapons proliferation and ensure peaceful elections, but Hezbollah insists that such measures would hinder their ability to protect the nation from threats. The group argues that they have a legitimate right to defend themselves against enemies like Israel and insists that their weapons are necessary for national security. The government's decision and Hezbollah's strong reaction highlight the delicate balance between security, sovereignty, and political interests in Lebanon.
