"...A senior Lebanese Defense Ministry official was also quoted by local media as saying that there would be "no political conditions" attached to arms deals between Lebanon and Russia.

Israel has also been lobbying against heavy weapons supplies to Lebanon, fearing they might eventually be used against it..."
