Lebanese army reportedly searching for Hezbollah arms in Dahiyeh

The Lebanese army is searching for weapons and military equipment in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, a stronghold of the Hezbollah terror group, the Lebanese TV network Aljadeed reports.

It comes days after Israel struck underground drone manufacturing sites in the neighborhood.

This was happening, the military said, “despite the understandings between Israel and Lebanon” as laid out in a November ceasefire agreement that halted more than a year of fighting along Israel’s northern border.

“This activity is a blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon. The Hezbollah terror organization creates challenges for the Lebanese state and thus impairs the implementation of the understandings,” the IDF asserted.

An image circulating on social media appeared to show Lebanese troops searching Dahiyeh, apparently for weapons.
