The IDF airs new footage showing troops of the Air Force’s elite Shaldag unit operating on the banks of the Litani River in the eastern sector of southern Lebanon, where rockets and Hezbollah bunkers were found.

Videos released by the military show a rocket launcher and other weapons being demolished, as well as an underground site where the terror group stored weapons.

The Litani River in the eastern sector is around 4 kilometers from the northern Israeli border town of Metula.

At the Litani River, troops of the Alexandroni Brigade, 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade, Golani Brigade’s reconnaissance unit, and Shaldag unit raided numerous Hezbollah sites.

The IDF says the troops battled Hezbollah gunmen in the area, and located and destroyed dozens of rocket launchers, hundreds of rockets, weapon depots, and other weapons hidden in the mountainside.
