The Lebanese army raided an arms depot in Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday, arresting one person and hauling away a stockpile of weaponry. The operation targeted the Msharrafieh area, according to a military statement.
Troops seized what the army described as a large number of war arms and munitions. Officials said the raid came after close monitoring of how weapons were being moved and traded in the area.
The arrested person is now under investigation, the army said. It did not say who owned the weapons stashed in the depot.
The raid lands against the backdrop of a June framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel. That deal covered disarming Hezbollah, a gradual Israeli pullback from territory it holds in southern Lebanon, and the deployment of Lebanese troops into the area.
