The Saudi ambassador to Lebanon joined a Lebanese army tour for ambassadors and military attachés to showcase progress in disarming Hezbollah south of the Litani River, including a view of a Hezbollah tunnel in Wadi Zabkin in Tyre, accompanied by army commander Rodolof Haichel and local journalists, according to an X post by kaisos1987 published during the reporting window from 10:46 a.m. to 1:17 p.m. UTC on Dec. 15, 2025. The tour demonstrated the Lebanese state and army's efforts to disarm the organization south of Litani, as stated in the Hebrew-language post translated from https://x.com/kaisos1987/status/2000543123408077074. Local journalists also participated to highlight the initiatives bearing fruit. This development occurs amid ongoing regional tensions, following reports earlier on Dec. 15 that the Sunni village of Marukhin in southern Lebanon, fully exploited by Hezbollah for terrorist purposes, no longer exists, according to a prior X post by BenTzionMacales.
