IDF Finds Hundreds of Hezbollah Weapons, Tunnel Shaft in Southern Lebanon
On Nov. 8, the IDF announced soldiers recently uncovered weapons near United Nations outposts in Southern Lebanon, recovering items from a civilian home approximately 200 meters from a UNIFIL position and a storage facility 100 meters away.
The Oded Brigade Combat Team located combat materials in Meis, while the Kfir Brigade Combat Team discovered an operational apartment in Tiri, with both sites positioned approximately 250 meters or less from UN posts.
Soldiers discovered Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers, and surveillance equipment inside the facilities, alongside boxes of humanitarian aid and emblems belonging to the Amal and Hezbollah terror organizations.
Citing the "cynical exploitation" of the force's inaction, the IDF stated the findings prove UNIFIL failed its mission and affirmed they will continue removing threats to protect Israeli civilians.
Scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, the United Nations Interim Force mandate will be followed by a planned cessation of operations and an orderly drawdown lasting up to one year.
