The Times of Israel reported an IDF statement that Givati Brigade troops north of the Litani found Hezbollah weapons depots in recent days, including firearms, anti-tank missiles, launchers, drones and other gear. The claim points to continued Israeli ground activity in south Lebanon, but independent verification of the caches was not found in this run.

Context

The IDF claim supports Israel's argument for continued south-Lebanon operations inside civilian areas. Independent verification matters because these cache claims can justify future strikes and shape blame for civilian-risk tradeoffs.
