Israeli troops operating in southern Lebanon located a cache of weapons in a Hezbollah tunnel, the military says.
The tunnel was to be used by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force for preparations ahead of a potential invasion of Israel, according to the IDF.
In the tunnel, the IDF says reservists of the 646th Paratroopers Brigade found bunk beds, storage closets, food, and other equipment that would have allowed Hezbollah operatives to reside there for long periods, along with weapons and military gear.
The paratroopers also found rocket launching positions in the area, the IDF adds.
