Iran classifies Hamas's and Lebanon weapons as Hezbollah's
The article discusses the developments in the process of disarming Palestinian factions in Lebanon, particularly Hamas and Islamic Jihad, amidst the difficulties in implementing weapons surrender agreements and the risks of linking the fate of this weaponry to that of Hezbollah and Iran. Since August 2025, the Lebanese army has confiscated a significant portion of the weapons held by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) factions, but Islamic Resistance factions refuse to hand over their heavy weapons, justifying this by the need to resist the Israeli occupation in Gaza and to safeguard their political and security interests. Sources indicate that about 60% of the organization's weapons have been surrendered, while small arms and missile stockpiles remain limited—especially among Hamas in the Rashidiya camp. Factions also differ in their stances regarding tying their weapons to Hezbollah’s arsenal, insisting that their weapons in Lebanon are solely for self-defense and not for other purposes, with Hamas's weapons primarily centered on rocket fire. In this context, the Lebanese state is working to address the Palestinian weapons issue in a comprehensive and transparent manner, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and agreement. It is also managing Palestinian military bases previously linked to Syria outside of the camps, gradually progressing in the surrender of heavy and medium weapons to the Lebanese army.
