BEIRUT - Hezbollah warned on Wednesday it could mobilize supporters in the streets if Lebanon's government moves ahead with a decision to disarm the Iran-backed group by the end of 2025, senior official Mahmoud Qomati said.

Qomati, deputy head of Hezbollah's Political Council, told local media that the plan was "unconstitutional, illegitimate, and in violation of both the national charter and international law, which permits resistance under occupation."

He said Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal Movement, would boycott parliamentary sessions if lawmakers advanced steps to enforce the measures. "If we see the session moving to solidify these decisions and lay out steps for execution, we will not attend, and we will head to popular confrontation," he said.

Qomati added that Hezbollah would refrain from escalation if the decisions remained "born dead" and unenforced.

He warned that implementing the resolutions would destabilize Lebanon. "Anyone who seeks stability -- international, regional or local -- must recognize that enforcing these decisions will endanger it and serve no one's interest," he said.

Lebanon's government recently approved a plan to disarm all non-state actors, including Hezbollah, by the end of 2025. The move has deepened political divisions and raised fears of instability. Hezbollah has rejected the plan, saying its arsenal is needed to defend Lebanon against potential threats from Israel.

Also on Wednesday, one person was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the village of Yater in southern Lebanon, Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported.

Lebanese security sources told Xinhua the dead was Abdel Monem Sweidan, a Hezbollah member.

Meanwhile, the NNA reported that Israeli drones bombed excavators in the villages of Yaroun and Mays El Jabal in southern Lebanon, and have been flying at low height over Beirut and its southern suburbs since morning.

Infiltrating Israeli forces on the southern outskirts of the village of Aitaroun, southern Lebanon, blew up a house in the area at dawn, the NNA added.

The security sources said an Israeli drone dropped a stun grenade on the village of Houla where several citizens were moving furniture from their homes. No casualties were reported.

Since Nov 27, 2024, a US- and French-brokered ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect, ending more than a year of cross-border clashes. The agreement stipulated Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, but the Israeli army has maintained several posts, and started building new ones, along the border and continues to launch attacks on the grounds of countering "threats" from Hezbollah.
