What challenges does the Lebanese Army face in controlling southern Lebanon after the conflict?

The Lebanese Army faces significant challenges in southern Lebanon as it takes charge of the region following the conflict. The Israeli military threatens continued action against Hezbollah if the Lebanese forces fail to push back and disarm Hezbollah fighters themselves. This creates a precarious situation where the army must demonstrate effectiveness in a region where the Lebanese state has been historically absent. The task represents a major test for Lebanon's government, which must now establish authority in an area previously dominated by Hezbollah while under pressure from Israeli military oversight.
