The IDF says it located and demolished five Hezbollah weapon depots in southern Lebanon, during recent operations amid the ongoing ceasefire.

The depots found by the 300th “Baram” Regional Brigade included over 200 mortars, primed rocket launchers, and other military gear, the military says.

The troops also located a truck-mounted rocket launcher.

The weapons were confiscated and the sites were demolished.

The IDF says it is working to “remove threats and terror infrastructure, in accordance with the understandings between Israel and Lebanon, while abiding by the ceasefire agreement.”
