Lebanese soldiers found 60 Grad rockets and 240 Hawn missiles of various sizes when they stopped a truck near Beirut, yesterday.
(Another report says there were 20 Grad rockets and 20 rocket launchers on the truck.)

Hezbollah demanded the return of the munitions after the seizure but Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr has refused the demands.
Under U.N. resolution 1701 that ended this summer’s Israel-Hezbollah war, Hezbollah is banned from rearming.
