Troops of the Golani Brigade captured a Hezbollah fighting position in southern Lebanon, located in an olive grove and an adjacent home, the IDF says.
The military says the troops found a primed mortar launcher aimed at Israel, ammunition, tunnel infrastructure, and resting areas for the Hezbollah operatives.
Inside the home, the IDF says the soldiers found a cache of weapons, including firearms, anti-tank missiles, and other equipment.
The IDF says the equipment and site would have been used to ambush Israeli soldiers and attack towns in northern Israel.
