IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon located a Hezbollah training facility, which was positioned some 200 meters from a UNIFIL base.

Reservists with the Oded Brigade raided the Hezbollah site, which the IDF says was used by the terror group for training, studying combat theory and storing weapons.

The military says the troops found Hezbollah documents and textbooks, maps of Israel, guides of IDF vehicles, as well as tunnel shafts and weapons at the site.

In the area of the facility, the IDF says the soldiers also found rocket launchers that were primed for attacks on Israel.

The weapons were confiscated and the facility was demolished, the IDF adds.
