In the southern Lebanon village of Ayta ash-Shab, the IDF says soldiers located numerous weapons used by Hezbollah.

Troops of the 300th “Baram” Regional Brigade found rocket launchers, hundreds of rockets and mortars, anti-tank missiles, explosive devices, RPGs, grenades, and other weapons, the military says.

The IDF says the weapons were located in civilian buildings and in some 30 depots.

Israel has until Sunday to leave south Lebanon, though it has reportedly asked mediators to delay the withdrawal.
