Israeli troops raided the southern Lebanon village of Dibbine, some 12 km north of the border and beyond the IDF's "forward defense line", several weeks ago, the military announced. The 769th "Hiram" Regional Brigade located "significant" weapons depots, the IDF said, and the Air Force struck roughly 50 Hezbollah sites and killed operatives during the operation. The IDF stated the village was used by Hezbollah to stage attacks, including anti-tank missile fire, on Israeli forces and communities.
The IDF disclosed on Wednesday details of a major raid that took place in the southern Lebanese village of Dibbine several weeks ago — a village located some 12 km north of the border and beyond the military's self-declared "forward defense line" in southern Lebanon. Troops of the 769th "Hiram" Regional Brigade, a reserve formation operating under the 91st Division, found what the military described as "significant" weapons depots during the operation.
The Israeli Air Force concurrently struck roughly 50 Hezbollah targets, destroying dozens of sites and killing operatives, in support of the ground operation, the IDF said. The military stated that Hezbollah had used Dibbine to stage attacks — including anti-tank missile fire — on Israeli troops and border communities.
The revelation comes as the IDF continues to carry out operations against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon, both above and below the Litani River, even after the November 2024 ceasefire. As The Zioneer reported on June 9, troops of the Givati Brigade previously discovered Hezbollah weapons caches stored inside civilian homes north of the Litani, with arms placed alongside a baby crib. The 769th Brigade had previously raided Dibbine in April, before the ceasefire took effect; the current disclosure suggests a more recent operation, indicating that the IDF continues to operate militarily in areas formally beyond the ceasefire's buffer zone.
