The Lebanese Forces Weapons
When the civil war started,
the LF received large amounts of weapons from Israel and
purchased more from eastern Europe. Near the end of the
war, the Lebanese Forces shifted from eastern European
to western (NATO) weapons. In addition to all this, a
very large amount of weapons was received from Iraq in
1988. Other equipment was "obtained" from the
Lebanese army or bought on the black market.
Most militia-members had Israeli uniforms. Distinctive
uniforms were used for special and elite units.
