The Lebanese army says it raided a weapons depot in Beirut’s southern suburbs, a known Hezbollah stronghold, “seizing a large quantity of weapons and military ammunition.”

One suspect was detained in the Msharafieh neighborhood during the “targeted security operation,” which the Lebanese Armed Forces says comes following “the monitoring and close tracking of weapons transfers and trafficking.”

An investigation has been launched by law enforcement in the country, the LAF adds.
