Lebanon’s Prime Minister Najib Mikati has announced the arrest of five Hezbollah members in northern Lebanon, declaring an end to what he characterised as an ‘era of impunity’ for the armed group.

The detainees were reportedly apprehended whilst carrying maps and documents. Authorities indicate that some individuals attempted to destroy materials before being taken into custody, suggesting coordinated activity that prompted immediate intervention.

The arrests represent a significant development in Lebanon’s efforts to assert state authority over Hezbollah, which has historically operated with considerable autonomy in Lebanese territory. This move reflects growing pressure on the militant organisation and attempts to strengthen government control.
