Day Lebanese Army Takes Control of Hezbollah Positions

The Lebanese Army has taken control of most Hezbollah military positions south of the Litani River, according to multiple sources, marking a significant implementation of disarmament efforts following days of mounting pressure. This development occurred amid US-Iran nuclear talks in Oman, described as "positive and constructive," with brief direct meetings between representatives and plans for continuation next week.

Lebanon commemorated the 50th anniversary of its civil war, with President Aoun urging Lebanese to "bury the war forever" and calling for unity with "our army as our weapon." The Kataeb party held a large gathering commemorating the "Lebanese Resistance," with Gemayel demanding Hezbollah surrender its weapons voluntarily.

The Council of Ministers approved a banking sector reform bill, likely part of preparations for IMF negotiations. Weather reports indicated unseasonably cold and rainy conditions for Palm Sunday celebrations across the country.
