Dozens of weapons—including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades, anti-tank missiles, and mortar bombs—were found hidden inside civilian structures in the southern Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun, according to a report. The discovery is the latest in a series of weapons caches uncovered in the area during ongoing operations.
The latest reports from southern Lebanon confirm that reserve troops of the 55th Brigade Combat Team have recovered dozens of weapons—including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades, and anti-tank missiles—from civilian infrastructure in the village of Majdal Zoun. The discovery was announced Thursday around midday, building on earlier reports from the same day.
The Zioneer first reported the cache at 11:00, noting that the IDF had located the weapons. Within the same hour, the IDF Spokesperson released footage and a detailed list of the seized items, including mortars and explosives. The initial report was attributed to Israeli media; by 11:10, the IDF had officially confirmed the find and identified the operating unit as the 55th Brigade Combat Team, under the 91st Division.
Majdal Zoun has been a central focus of IDF operations in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported on Jun 21, special forces uncovered a 29-meter-deep Hezbollah underground stronghold in the village, equipped with Iranian drones and launch shafts. On Jun 29, the IDF demolished a major terror tunnel in the area. The military has repeatedly stated that Hezbollah's use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes constitutes a violation of international law.
The full extent of Hezbollah's weapons caches in the region remains under investigation as operations continue.
