International donors are set to condition future support for the Lebanese army on concrete steps taken north of the Litani River, according to information obtained by Al-Modon, placing the issue at the center of an upcoming donor conference in Paris.

The conference, aimed at rallying international backing for Lebanon’s armed forces, is scheduled for the first week of March. A preparatory meeting will be held in Doha in mid-February to align positions ahead of the Paris talks.

Sources said any assistance pledged to the Lebanese army would be explicitly tied to tangible actions in areas north of the Litani, a region that has come under heightened international scrutiny following the army’s announcement that it had completed the first phase of a disarmament plan south of the river.

Donors are expected to evaluate the army’s willingness and ability to move into Hezbollah positions previously struck by Israeli forces and to oversee the handover of advanced weapons still held by the group. These include precision-guided and long-range missiles, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, the sources said.

The scale of financial and military support will depend on the progress achieved on these fronts, underscoring a growing international effort to link assistance to concrete measures aimed at curbing non-state military capabilities outside government control.
