Lebanese army seizes Hezbollah weapon truck, reports say

The Lebanese Army has seized a Hezbollah truck loaded with weapons in the Iqlim al-Kharoub region near Sidon, media reports said Tuesday.

The weapons, including detonators and grenades, were taken from a warehouse in Wardaniyeh after it was targeted by an Israeli strike.

The drivers of the truck left it and ran away when they noticed they had been followed by an Israeli drone, the reports said.

A ceasefire deal reached in late November gave Israel and Hezbollah 60 days to remove their forces from southern Lebanon and for the Lebanese army to move in and secure the area.

Israel says Hezbollah and the Lebanese army haven’t met their obligations, while Lebanon accuses the Israeli army of hindering the Lebanese military from taking over.

The 60-day deadline expired at the end of January. Israel said the agreement is progressing but, in some sectors, "it has been delayed and will take slightly longer."
