Lebanon’s army enforcing state control over weapons, source tells Al Jazeera

A Lebanese military source said the army remains committed to the government’s decisions to restrict weapons to state control and to extend its authority across the country.

The source told Al Jazeera that the Lebanese military is implementing the Lebanese government’s policy of limiting arms possession and ensuring that weapons are held only by the state.

The source also stressed that the Lebanese army confiscates any weapons that pass through its checkpoints, as part of efforts to enforce the government’s decisions and maintain security.
