IDF troops in South Lebanon uncovered and eliminated a 30-meter tunnel housing three tons of explosives and a large weapons stockpile, as airstrikes leveled more than 15 military installations.
IDF forces eliminated Hezbollah terrorists, destroyed tunnels and weapons caches, and responded to continued rocket and drone attacks.
IDF troops operating in southern Lebanon located and destroyed an 80-meter tunnel containing several rooms used to advance terror plots, along with multiple weapons caches.
Israeli defense companies, including Rafael, Elbit Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries, are working closely with the military to accelerate development cycles.
Conventional FPV platforms typically rely on low‑power, narrowband radio links for control and video transmission. These signals are faint, difficult to detect at long distances, and often resemble hobbyist frequencies, making them hard for defensive systems to isolate and disrupt.
‘We will not tolerate attacks on our communities, and we will not leave until long-term security is ensured,’ Zamir said.
These limitations allow Hezbollah to violate the ceasefire without fear of a decisive Israeli response.
The trigger is electronically managed so the rifle only discharges when the barrel is aligned with the predicted intercept point, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a successful hit.
The IDF demolished Hezbollah’s largest-ever discovered tunnel network in southern Lebanon, a two-kilometer granite fortress housing hundreds of fighters, destroyed using 450 tons of explosives.
Because the control signal travels through a physical fiber rather than the airwaves, the drones are effectively impervious to electronic‑warfare jamming, a domain in which the IDF has traditionally held overwhelming superiority.
The incident highlights the increasing danger of First Person View (FPV) drones employed by Hezbollah in the conflict.
Sirens in northern Israel, ongoing Hezbollah drone threats, and intensified IDF operations in Lebanon and Gaza as forces eliminate terrorists and uncover weapons in civilian areas.
The IDF discovered a Hezbollah weapons cache hidden inside a children’s room in southern Lebanon—further proof that the terror group routinely uses civilian cover to advance its agenda.
Hezbollah’s continued rocket and drone launches render the ceasefire mostly fictional.
Some experts claim Israel must cease hostilities and sign “solid “iron-clad” agreements with the Hamas and Hezbollah backed by UN forces.
Senior officers have described this shift as part of a broader transformation in which robots increasingly perform the most dangerous tasks once assigned to infantry and combat engineers.
The alerts were initially assessed as a false alarm, but a subsequent review indicated they were likely triggered by the interception of an unmanned aerial vehicle launched from Lebanon.
IDF Division 162 eliminated over 250 terrorists, uncovered thousands of weapons, and found Hezbollah cameras used to record propaganda films.
Ceasefire agreements with Lebanon are useless, analysts say
