The Israeli military announced Tuesday that its forces discovered an operational apartment and dozens of weapons caches in southern Lebanon. During operations in the town of Mays al-Jabal, troops from the "Oded" Brigade's combat team found two equipment and weapons storage sites. One was located inside a civilian home approximately 200 meters from a UN position, and the other was in a warehouse about 100 meters from the UN site. Recovered items included Kalashnikov rifles, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), PK machine guns, high-explosive hand grenades, explosive devices, ammunition, and communication and reconnaissance equipment. These were found alongside boxes of humanitarian aid and symbols belonging to the Amal movement and Hezbollah. Separately, forces from the "Kfir" Brigade operating in the town of Al-Tiri uncovered an operational apartment around 250 meters from a UN position. This site contained reconnaissance equipment, combat gear, living supplies, and symbols associated with Hezbollah. The military stated these findings provide further evidence of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon's (UNIFIL) failure to fulfill its mission and Hezbollah's "cynical exploitation" amid UNIFIL's inaction.
