The IDF said reservists of the 679th 'Yiftach' Brigade found explosives, weapons, and combat equipment in the Maroun al-Ras area of southern Lebanon, in addition to a rocket and mortar cache discovered by the 401st Brigade in A-Tiri. The weapons were intended for use against Israeli forces, according to the military.
The IDF on Thursday evening detailed additional weapons finds from the day's operations in the southern Lebanon security zone, reporting that reservists of the 679th 'Yiftach' Brigade uncovered explosives, firearms, and combat equipment during a sweep in the village of Maroun al-Ras. The military said the arms were intended for Hezbollah attacks against Israeli forces. The announcement follows an earlier report, published by The Zioneer at 17:00 Jerusalem, that the 91st Division's 401st Brigade had located an underground shaft and a rocket-and-mortar cache in the nearby village of A-Tiri. Both finds are part of the IDF's broader campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's military infrastructure in the security zone north of the border. Similar operations have been ongoing for weeks, with multiple weapons caches and underground facilities uncovered, including a Hezbollah drone factory inside a mountain, as reported by The Zioneer on June 28.
