Troops found hundreds of weapons hidden in civilian structures, including command centers, rocket launchers and weapons caches, while the 91st Division continues clearing remaining threats. The military described Bint Jbeil as a long-standing Hezbollah stronghold used to plan and launch attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually differ on the infrastructure tally: Israel National News reports more than 1,500 sites; the Jerusalem Post reports 1,500 items, while Ynet does not state a combined figure. The remaining facts are uniform: the IDF established operational control around Bint Jbeil, the 91st and 98th Divisions dismantled Hezbollah infrastructure, and troops continued clearing weapons and remaining threats from the town.
