The IDF has dismantled weapons caches and tunnels hidden within civilian infrastructure, escalating tensions over ceasefire violations.
- Israeli forces discovered extensive Hezbollah weapons caches, including rocket launchers, rifles, and explosives, concealed in civilian areas in southern Lebanon.
- A 100-meter-long underground tunnel used by Hezbollah's Radwan Forces was located and destroyed, along with a command center containing rockets and heavy weaponry.
- The IDF has carried out airstrikes targeting Hezbollah’s smuggling operations and continues efforts to disrupt its military buildup despite a fragile ceasefire agreement.
- The ceasefire, brokered in November, requires Hezbollah to withdraw from southern Lebanon, but Israeli operations have drawn criticism from UN peacekeepers monitoring the area.
- UNIFIL has called for both sides to adhere to UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which prohibits Hezbollah's armed presence south of the Litani River.
