IDF Strikes Hezbollah Arms Team in South Lebanon Buffer Zone

IDF Strikes Hezbollah Arms Team in South Lebanon Buffer Zone

The IDF said Saturday evening that 91st Division troops identified Hezbollah terrorists moving anti-tank missiles inside Israel's security zone in southern Lebanon, then directed an airstrike after additional operatives brought weapons into the same building. The army said the terrorists entered the zone by vehicle, unloaded anti-tank missiles meant to threaten Israeli forces and civilians, and that secondary explosions after the strike indicated weapons were inside. Lebanese reports earlier described repeated Israeli strikes on al-Mansouri in the Tyre district. The operation shows why Israel keeps freedom of action in the buffer zone while Hezbollah tries to rebuild threats under cover of the Lebanon track.
