What is unfolding today is not simply the weakness of an institution, but the outcome of a long historical trajectory: an army that was never built to enforce sovereignty, that fractured when the state collapsed, that was later rebuilt within a settlement that did not grant it full authority, and that now operates within a reality where the state coexists with arms outside its control.
Lebanon, fortunately, was never meant to be a military state, but it has also failed to become a state that monopolizes violence.
