IDF troops captured a cache of Hezbollah weapons in southern Lebanon, including first-person view (FPV) drones.

The military says the weapons included anti-tank explosive devices and remote detonation systems, explosive-laden drones, RPGs, firearms and other weapons.

Hezbollah has made frequent use of small FPV drones in its attacks on Israeli troops in recent weeks, including in a deadly attack yesterday.
