The Lebanese military claimed on Tuesday to have collected weapons from several Palestinian camps across Lebanon.
The military said the disarmament was carried out in partnership with the Palestinian authorities, and a notable quantity was collected from the Ain al-Hilweh camp.
Authorities previously collected weapons from the Hilweh camp, but The Jerusalem Post’s Seth Frantzman reported that weapons remained with the Hamas-affiliated residents.
Promising to take “the necessary actions,” the military confirmed that it had collected military ammunition, and the photo shared revealed what appears to be a number of firearms and missile launchers.
Lebanon avoids disarming Hezbollah
Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated over the weekend that Lebanon would end its efforts to disarm Hezbollah south of the Litani River on Saturday.
Disarming the terror group was a key point in negotiating a ceasefire with neighboring Israel last year.
