Elite Navy force nabs large Hezbollah weapons cache at Lebanon school, IDF says

During a recent raid in southern Lebanon, forces of the Israeli Navy’s elite Shayetet 13 unit captured a large cache of Hezbollah weapons at a school in the town of Khiam, the military says.

The IDF says the naval commandos set out for the raid following intelligence “indicating the presence of weapons in the school in the village of Khiam.”

At the school, the troops located hundreds of weapons, including anti-tank missiles, mortars, grenades, rocket launchers, assault rifles, mines, explosive charges and more, the army says.

The military says it also located items bearing the logo of UNHCR, the United Nations agency for refugees, alongside the weapons.
