The IDF continues to locate dozens of Hezbollah weapons in the southern Lebanon security zone, the military said Wednesday. The latest finds include RPG rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, explosive charges, and grenades. The search operations are part of ongoing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah's remaining arsenal in the area.
The IDF's 91st Division continues its search-and-destroy campaign in the southern Lebanon security zone, reporting Wednesday morning that troops have located additional weapons caches. The latest finds, confirmed by the military, include RPG rockets, Kalashnikov rifles, explosive charges, and grenades of Hezbollah origin — the same types reported in earlier sweeps.
This update follows the division's initial announcement at 09:02 Jerusalem, which was first sourced from N13 / Army Radio and later confirmed by the IDF. The thread, published at 09:02, noted that troops from the 401st, 4th, and 300th Brigades found dozens of weapons over recent days. In a separate incident detailed in the same report, forces from the 869th Reconnaissance Unit fired at a suspect near Ras Baida after warning shots failed to deter him.
The ongoing sweeps are part of the broader IDF effort to clear Hezbollah's remaining military infrastructure from the buffer zone, as The Zioneer reported on June 20 and July 3. The military has characterized these operations as routine security activity within the security zone, aimed at preventing the terror group from re-establishing its arsenal under the ceasefire framework.
No additional details have been provided on the suspect fired at near Ras Baida, and the IDF has not reported any casualties among its forces in these operations.
