IDF troops raided a Hezbollah rocket-launching site in southern Lebanon earlier today, capturing a cache of weapons in the process.

The military says troops of the Givati Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit located dozens of rockets and other weapons at the site, including assault rifles, RPGs and other equipment.

The troops also located primed rocket launchers in the area, which the IDF says were aimed at troops stationed in southern Lebanon and at Israel.
