IDF Uncovers Hezbollah Arms Caches in Lebanon as US Maintains Push for Diplomacy with Iran

Troops found living quarters, dozens of weapons and three rocket shafts as they continued searches for isolated Hezbollah fighters.

  • On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces dismantled two underground tunnel routes in southern Lebanon near Majdal Zoun, describing the area as a heavily fortified Hezbollah stronghold built to support attacks on Israel.
  • Hezbollah fortified the village, believing Israeli forces would not advance 12 kilometers into Lebanese territory; the infrastructure included command centers and defensive tunnels designed to control access routes and attack advancing troops.
  • Soldiers from the 551st Paratroopers Brigade and the Yahalom combat engineering unit uncovered tunnels stretching approximately 200 meters and reaching about 20 meters deep, containing living quarters, weapons, and three rocket launch shafts aimed toward Israeli territory.
  • Troops increasingly encounter what officials describe as "trapped terrorists"—small groups of Hezbollah fighters isolated in captured areas. One security official said, "This was a terrorist base where weapons are found in every second or third house," alongside Kornet anti-tank missiles.
  • Search operations continue across Lebanon, with similar encounters reported near Bint Jbeil earlier this week; the military confirmed all located facilities and weapons caches, including mortars and RPGs, have been destroyed to prevent future attacks.
