The Lebanese army on Sunday received a shipment of heavy weaponry and ammunitions from the United States intended to help Lebanon fight against the so-called Islamic State.
According to a report in the An-Nahar Lebanese daily, a ship carrying more than 70 American-made heavy guns docked at the port of Beirut.
The weapons are reportedly intended to help the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) fight Islamist organizations who are attempting to infiltrate Lebanese territory from Syria.
