LEBANESE GOVERNMENT ENFORCING DISARMAMENT OF HIZBALLAH

HAARETZ: Lebanese army confiscates weapons from Hezbollah in south
The Lebanese army has confiscated illegitimate weapons from Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon, Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr said Tuesday. Murr said the seizure of arms south of the Litani River was in line with Security Council resolution 1701, which brought about the United Nations-brokered cease-fire that ended the 34-day war between Hezbollah and Israel. "This is a natural step. It is our obligation to confiscate weapons," said Murr. "The Lebanese army is deployed in South Lebanon in order to protect the border and to prevent any military body aside from our forces from operating there," he added.
I hope this is true and that it continues. STAY TUNED...
