- Southern Lebanon buffer zone
The IDF said troops of the 55th Brigade found ready-to-use launchers loaded with 32 rockets aimed at Israel, left since before the ceasefire, and later that another unit found rockets and a launcher in the Mount Dov area; the launchers and a nearby Hezbollah shaft were dismantled.
Why it matters
The find gives Israel a concrete justification to keep troops and search operations active inside the buffer zone, reinforcing its position that Hezbollah has not fully disarmed as required under the ceasefire framework.
