The IDF releases undated footage of the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit raiding a Hezbollah site in southern Lebanon (not the unit’s weekend operation in northern Lebanon, in which a Hezbollah operative was captured).
According to the IDF, the naval commandos, along with members of the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and Oketz canine unit, raided the compound, which it says was to be used by Hezbollah to plan and carry out infiltration attacks against Israel, as well as other attacks.
The military says the elite forces battled and killed Hezbollah operatives in a tunnel at the compound.
The soldiers also found bunkers where dozens of weapons were stored, including assault rifles, explosive devices, anti-tank missiles, surface-to-air missiles, mortars, and other equipment, the IDF says.
At the compound, the troops also located rocket launchers. The entire compound was later demolished, according to the IDF.
