During the operation, Israeli forces discovered a concealed position with a Kornet anti-tank guided missile system, with a range of approximately 8 kilometers. The Kornet system was found near the body of a Hezbollah militant who was eliminated during one of the strikes. An attack drone was also found at the militant's position.
At another location, Israeli soldiers spotted several underground tunnels and weapons depots.
The IDF also reported that Israeli Air Force aircraft destroyed dozens of Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure targets in southern Lebanon.
Russian weapons in Hezbollah’s arsenal
This is not the first case of Russian-made weapons being found with Hezbollah militants.
In October, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the discovery of advanced Russian weapons in Hezbollah’s possession.
