IDF forces operating in southern Lebanon have uncovered thousands of Hezbollah facilities, including command centers, living quarters, launch sites, observation posts, underground infrastructure, and large quantities of weapons, according to a report. The military described the embedding of these sites within civilian areas as a war crime and a cynical exploitation of the Lebanese population.
The IDF has published a detailed breakdown of the types of Hezbollah terror infrastructure uncovered in southern Lebanon, specifying command centers, living quarters, launch sites, observation posts, and underground facilities. The update, released this afternoon, builds on the initial report from Thursday morning (11:48 Jerusalem) that confirmed the location of thousands of Hezbollah sites embedded within civilian villages.
The initial report, published at 11:48, stated that IDF forces had located thousands of terror infrastructure sites. That report was followed by a statement from the IDF Spokesperson confirming the findings and describing Hezbollah's systematic use of civilian areas as cover. The military released visual evidence alongside the report. The current update provides a more specific categorization of the facilities, including the explicit mention of living quarters and the scale of underground infrastructure.
The revelation aligns with a broader pattern documented by The Zioneer. As previously reported, the IDF has been systematically dismantling Hezbollah's tunnel network in southern Lebanon, using unprecedented quantities of explosives to destroy Iranian-built underground compounds. The Zioneer also reported on June 5 that Hezbollah's embedding of military assets within civilian and religious sites has placed all communities in southern Lebanon at risk, regardless of sect.
The report is based on IDF assessments and published materials. Independent verification of the full scope of the uncovered facilities remains unavailable.
