The Lebanese army announced that its military intelligence directorate raided a weapons warehouse in al-Mashrafia, in the Beirut district in the south of the Dahiya district, a stronghold of Hezbollah, and seized large quantities of weapons and military ammunition.
The operation follows extensive surveillance of illegal arms trade and arms transfers. One Lebanese was arrested, and the seized weapon was handed over to the relevant authorities. An investigation is underway under judicial supervision.
The attack comes amid growing pressure to place all weapons in Lebanon under exclusive government control.
