The IDF Spokesperson released a detailed list of weapons seized by reserve soldiers of Brigade 55 in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon, minutes after the military had earlier published footage of the cache. The inventory includes Kalashnikov rifles, magazines, bullets, grenades, explosives, IEDs, anti-tank missiles, and mortar shells, all hidden in civilian infrastructure, the military said.
Today, Thu 11:00 Jerusalem, the IDF published a series of updates on the same find. The first report confirmed the seizure of dozens of weapons in civilian infrastructure. Subsequent disclosures included footage of the cache and details of the operation by the 55th Brigade, which also dismantled structures used by Hezbollah. The latest statement provides the most comprehensive account of the arms seized.
The discovery in Majdal Zoun follows a pattern of Hezbollah embedding weapons in civilian areas. As The Zioneer reported on Sun Jun 21, special forces uncovered a 29-meter-deep underground route in the same village containing Iranian drones and explosives. On Thu Jun 18, the IDF displayed a weapons cache seized in Majdal Zoun, noting troops had entered the village only 3–4 days earlier for the first time.
The IDF did not specify whether any suspects were detained in connection with the find. The extent of the cache and its operational significance remain under assessment.
