The decision marks one of the clearest challenges yet to the movement’s long-standing parallel authority.

The move follows Hezbollah’s rocket launches toward Israel on Monday, carried out without state consultation, which directly undercut the government’s declared policy of avoiding regional escalation.

Both President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam framed the action as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty, warning it risked dragging the country into a broader war and providing Israel justification for retaliation.

How this plays out practically is still unclear as Hezbollah remains armed despite recent conflict with Israel.
