IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon are continuing to locate weapons and Hezbollah infrastructure, the military says.

The IDF says troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, during scans in south Lebanon, found Russian-made anti-tank missiles, grenades, and assault rifles.

Additionally, in a joint operation with the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, the army says troops found several tunnels belonging to Hezbollah, some of which were used as weapon depots.

The weapons were seized and infrastructures were demolished.

The IDF says it is still deployed to some areas of southern Lebanon in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.

Israel has until Sunday to leave south Lebanon, though it has reportedly asked mediators for another 30 days.
