WATCH

Watch: a statement on the arms file issued in Kataib Hezbollah's own name; the same argument repeated by Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada or Badr Organization media; a named government step on weapons control; or a link drawn on these channels between the arms file and the reported patience warning — any of these moves this file.
