Reserve troops of the 55th Brigade Combat Team, operating under the 91st Division in the southern Lebanese security zone, located dozens of Hezbollah weapons—including Kalashnikov rifles, anti-tank missiles, and mortar shells—hidden in civilian infrastructure in the village of Majdal Zoun. The forces also destroyed buildings used by the terror group, according to the IDF.
The latest update from the IDF Spokesperson, released this morning, confirms that reserve troops of the 55th Brigade Combat Team destroyed Hezbollah structures in Majdal Zoun and seized anti-tank missiles and mortar shells, alongside dozens of other weapons. This development follows earlier reports from the same unit that uncovered a large cache hidden in civilian infrastructure.
The sequence of reports began earlier today with Israeli media reporting the discovery of dozens of weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades, and anti-tank missiles, hidden in civilian infrastructure. The IDF then released footage of the find, followed by a detailed list from the military spokesman. The initial reports were based on Israeli media; the later releases came from official IDF sources, providing increasing detail and corroboration. The new update specifically highlights the destruction of buildings used by Hezbollah and the seizure of anti-tank missiles and mortar shells.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Majdal Zoun has served as a key Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon. Previous operations uncovered a deep tunnel network reaching 29 meters, a drone-operations compound, and weapons stored in residential buildings. The latest discovery reinforces the pattern of Hezbollah embedding military assets within civilian infrastructure, a tactic the IDF says endangers Lebanese civilians.
It remains unclear whether the destruction of buildings and weapons seizure is part of an ongoing operation or represents a completed sweep. The IDF continues to operate in the security zone to dismantle remaining Hezbollah infrastructure.
