Israeli army says found ready-to-use rockets in Lebanon security zone
The Israeli army on Tuesday said it found ready-to-use rocket launchpads in the security zone in south Lebanon, noting that they were “left behind prior to the ceasefire taking effect.”
“During sweep operations in the area, the forces discovered a staging site containing a tunnel shaft belonging to Hezbollah” and “ready-to-use launch platforms,” the Israeli army said.
“These platforms held 32 rockets aimed at Israeli territory -- left in the area before the ceasefire agreement came into effect. The forces destroyed the site and the platforms,” it added.
The so-called security zone is the area that Israel occupies in south Lebanon.
