Lebanon's government bans non-state weapons in Beirut

Lebanon's government has banned weapons from non-state groups in Beirut to ensure citizen safety. The Prime Minister announced the army and security forces will immediately extend state control over Beirut, limiting arms possession to legal forces. Hezbollah is the only group to have kept its weapons post-civil war. This decision follows intense Israeli bombardments and a Hezbollah rocket launch, despite an Iran-US truce. Lebanon will file a complaint with the UN Security Council over the escalating Israeli aggression.
