The Lebanese army has confiscated weapons from Hezbollah militants in south Lebanon, Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Murr said Tuesday.
Murr said the confiscation of arms south of the Litani River was in line with Security Council resolution 1701, which brought about the United Nations-brokered cease-fire which ended the 34-day war between the Hezbollah guerilla organization in Lebanon and Israel.
"This is a natural step. It is our obligation to confiscate weapons," said Murr.

"Murr refused to elaborate on the types and amounts of weapons confiscated, saying only, "we are fulfulling our obligations and the task given to us.""
Most likely Pea-shooters, spit-wads, and mouse-traps.

Any bets on how many were modern, usable weapons versus rusted relics that would do more harm to the shooter than the target?

Must not have gotten all the weapons moved into the Palestinian Refugee camps where the UN could protect them yet.
Awwww, waste of good Russian money.

Lebanese army seizes weapons from Hezbollah... performing much-needed cleaning and gunsmithing before returning them fully loaded.

I'm not sure but I think it was some 1903 Turkish Mausers, some Lee-Enfields and a couple of rusty crescent-shaped swords.

I think we can safely say that when Hezbollah needs to use weapons again, they'll be handy enough.

This is good news, and I am very glad that the cynics who commented above are not in charge.
