At an army base in northern Israel, the IDF has established a massive display of Hezbollah weapons captured by troops in southern Lebanon.
In all, the IDF says the display includes arms and other equipment from some 85,170 individual items captured from Hezbollah.
The weapons at the display include some 6,840 RPG rockets and anti-tank missiles, including 340 Russian-made Kornets, along with their launchers; 9,000 explosive devices and grenades; 2,250 unguided rockets and mortars; 2,700 assault rifles; 2,860 other guns including sniper rifles; and 60 anti-aircraft missiles.

The display also includes 20 Hezbollah vehicles captured by the IDF; 60,800 pieces of electronic equipment, communication devices, computers, and documents; and 300 pieces of surveillance equipment, including binoculars, according to the army.
Hezbollah’s weapons are sourced mostly from Russia and Iran, and some are locally produced, military sources say.

Military officials say that some of the weapons that meet the IDF standard, such as the mortars, will be used by the army.
The weapons and equipment were captured by IDF troops during operations in over 30 villages in southern Lebanon since late September.
Journalists were invited this week to view the display.
