The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have uncovered Hezbollah military infrastructure, including weapons caches and an operational headquarters, located in close proximity to UN peacekeeping posts in southern Lebanon. Units from the IDF's 91st Division discovered two large caches of military equipment and heavy weaponry in the village of Mays al-Jabal. One arsenal was found in a civilian home approximately 200 meters from a UN observation post, while a second was located in an outbuilding about 100 meters from UN positions. Recovered items included Kalashnikov rifles, RPGs with projectiles, PK machine guns, fragmentation grenades, explosive devices, ammunition, optical systems, and communication equipment. The IDF noted that the weapons were stored next to boxes of international humanitarian aid, further indicating the use of civilian facilities and aid for military purposes by terrorist groups. Additionally, soldiers from the Kfir Brigade Combat Team found a Hezbollah operational headquarters in the village of At-Tiri, about 250 meters from another UN post. This facility contained surveillance equipment, gear, supplies for autonomous living, and Hezbollah symbols. The IDF stated these findings demonstrate the failure of the UN peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, to fulfill its obligations and highlighted the deliberate placement of Hezbollah's military infrastructure near UN sites, exploiting the international contingent's perceived inaction.
