The IDF said Thursday that Northern Command forces have located thousands of Hezbollah terror sites embedded inside civilian villages across southern Lebanon during months of operations. The military listed command posts, staging positions, launch positions, observation posts, underground infrastructure and large quantities of weapons among the sites uncovered. Hezbollah spent years building its activity into the villages, planting terror infrastructure in the heart of the civilian population and turning the area into a space of significant value for its military operations, according to the IDF. The army said its operations are aimed at removing threats to Israel, and that Hezbollah's method cynically exploited and endangered Lebanese residents.
