The Lebanese army issued a statement on December 4th, 2025, during the reporting window between 1:45 PM and 2:16 PM UTC, strongly denying a claim published a few days ago on an Iranian website associated with Ayatollah Khamenei that 30% of its personnel belong to Hezbollah. The army affirmed that all personnel act according to a clear military doctrine and are loyal to the army and nation, according to a report by kaisos1987 on X. The denied claim originated from an interview with Dr. Hossein Mohammadi Sirat, an expert from Iran's Imam Sadek University, published on the official website. In a separate development in the same period, a post from the Arabic channel "بَأَسَ شَدِيدَ الإخبارية" stated: "We will complete this path if we are all killed, if our homes are destroyed over our heads. We will not give up the option of resistance." This denial follows an IDF warning issued at approximately 1:45 PM UTC on December 4th, 2025, urging residents of Qontar and Ibl al-Saqi villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate due to imminent strikes on nearby Hezbollah infrastructure, as stated by أفيخاي أدرعي.
