Troops from the Commando Brigade's Egoz Unit, under the 98th Division, raided a Hezbollah combat compound embedded in a civilian area of Bint Jbeil on Wednesday, seizing RPGs, Kalashnikov rifles, grenades, an anti-aircraft missile and surveillance gear before demolishing about 70 "terror infrastructure sites" in roughly a minute, according to the IDF.

In a separate action, Maglan Unit forces killed "dozens of terrorists" who the army said were attempting to attack Israeli soldiers.

In a later statement, the military said troops operating in the Bint Jbeil area found more than 130 weapons, including rifles and pistols, stashed inside a school, alongside Hezbollah flags and insignia, accusing the Iranian-backed group of systematically using civilian sites to wage attacks on Israel.
