Tuesday, for the first time since the Israel Defense Forces’ withdrawal
from Southern Lebanon on May 24, 2000, the IDF reported.
Soldiers from the 91st Division carried
out intelligence-driven raids on Hezbollah targets, engaged in
close-quarters combat with terrorists and uncovered and destroyed dozens
of rocket launchers, thousands of rockets and missiles, as well as
concealed weapons storage facilities, according to the military.

Lebanon, the Commando Brigade Combat Team carried out a targeted raid on
terrorist infrastructure. The troops uncovered hundreds of weapons,
underground facilities and dozens of rocket launchers ready for
immediate use.
