Dozens of Hezbollah launchers and rockets were located and destroyed by reservists of the 226th Paratroopers Brigade during recent operations in southern Lebanon, the IDF says.
The military says the reserve brigade has been operating in an area from which Hezbollah fired hundreds of rockets at Israel in the past year.
The troops located several multiple-rocket launchers and mortar positions, along with caches of rockets and other equipment.

They also located a tunnel system dug into a mountain in the area. Inside the tunnel, the troops found weapons, equipment, and food used by Hezbollah operatives, according to the IDF.
