Reports: Communication Devices Destined for Syria Rebels Seized at Beirut Port
A quantity of military communication devices were seized on Wednesday at the Port of Beirut, media reports said.
“Customs authorities at the Port of Beirut seized a container containing advanced communication devices destined for the armed groups in Syria,” al-Manar television reported, without elaborating.
The Beirut-based, pan-Arab television al-Mayadeen reported the same story in a breaking news ticker.
OTV said “a citizen who hails from Majdal Anjar imported 4,400 communication devices from China."
On Sunday, the Lebanese army thwarted an attempt to deliver arms to “extremists” in the Shouf area of Ain Zhalta.
The seized cache of arms contained "heavy-, medium- and light-caliber weapons and a large quantity of ammunition of various types," the Army Command said in a statement.
