Israeli authorities have deemed Beirut's steps to disarm Hezbollah's military wing insufficient, a statement published by the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reads.

"The efforts being made in this direction by the Lebanese government and the Lebanese Armed Forces are an encouraging start, but they are far from sufficient,”

According to the statement from the office, Beirut's inadequacy is demonstrated, in particular, by Hezbollah's attempts to rearm and rebuild its "terrorist infrastructure with the support of Iran.”
