IDF uncovers weapons caches next to humanitarian aid boxes, near UN posts in southern Lebanon
During operations by the 'Oded' (9th) Brigade Combat Team in the area of Meiss El Jabal, Israeli forces found Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers and rockets, and more.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have uncovered two stockpiles of military equipment and weapons near humanitarian aid boxes and UN posts in southern Lebanon. The first cache was discovered in a civilian home approximately 200 meters from a UN post, containing Kalashnikov rifles, RPG launchers, rockets, a PK machine gun, fragmentation grenades, an explosive device, ammunition, and communications and surveillance equipment.
The second cache was found in an apartment used by Hezbollah for military purposes, about 250 meters from a UN post, with surveillance equipment, combat gear, living supplies, and Hezbollah emblems. These findings suggest that UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, has been ineffective in preventing the exploitation of its mission by terrorist groups. The IDF has stated that it will continue to remove threats while upholding the ceasefire agreement.
