Israeli soldiers conducting operations within the security zone in southern Lebanon have discovered and demolished a series of Hezbollah weapons facilities, underground tunnels, and arms stockpiles, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Members of the Golani Brigade Combat Team, working under the command of the 36th Division, came across weapons depots holding an array of military hardware, including launchers, machine guns, explosive devices, and missiles, along with other Hezbollah armaments.
The IDF reported that soldiers eliminated both the storage facilities themselves and all weapons found within them. Military officials stated that the weapons had been intended for use against Israeli troops and civilians.
In the Majdal Zoun area of southern Lebanon, soldiers uncovered two separate underground tunnel systems with a total combined length of around 200 meters. The tunnels were found to contain residential living areas, three launch shafts pointed in the direction of Israel, and dozens of additional weapons.
A further stockpile of arms was also discovered, which included mortars, launchers, and RPG rockets, the IDF said.
The Israeli military stated it will press forward with its mission to neutralize threats facing Israeli forces and made clear it will not permit Hezbollah to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians.
