Troops in southern Lebanon find village homes packed with weapons – IDF

Israeli forces in southern Lebanon are continuing to find massive amounts of weaponry left behind by Hezbollah operatives, the IDF says.

Officers involved in the fighting in some of the villages in southern Lebanon say that Hezbollah placed weapons in nearly every single home.

The IDF says that the 188th Armored Brigade, operating under the 36th Division, located several weapon caches and tunnels during their operations in recent days.

The troops also located and demolished a Hezbollah command center that the IDF says was used by the terror group to plan and carry out rocket fire on northern Israel.

“In the last few days we are focused on dismantling the above and underground infrastructure, and we will continue to do so as long as it takes, until we guarantee the return of the residents to the north in complete safety,” the commander of the 188th Brigade, Col. Or Vollozinsky, says in remarks provided by the IDF.
