IDF troops with the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade located a large cache of Hezbollah weapons in the Wadi Saluki area of southern Lebanon, the military says.
The IDF says the forces found rocket launchers, missiles, explosives, and other weapons at the depot hidden in the Wadi Saluki area.
During another raid on nearby buildings, the soldiers found numerous other weapons, including assault rifles, grenades, missiles, mines, explosive devices, and other military gear, the military says.

The weapons were confiscated and the sites were demolished, the IDF adds.
The IDF is still deployed to southern Lebanon under a ceasefire agreement, and it has until late January to withdraw, in accordance with the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces to the area.
