The 810th Brigade, led by the Alpinist Unit, conducted a limited and localized raid on the outskirts of the Lebanese village of Chebaa, leading to the discovery of a Hezbollah launch site responsible for the rocket which killed 12 Druze-Israeli children in Majdal Shams, the IDF announced on Saturday afternoon.
The raid, which occurred over the past week, reportedly led troops to discover and dismantle Hezbollah launch infrastructure, weapons and intelligence assets.
The 810th Brigade located Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure in the area, which in turn led to the discovery of rocket launchers and weapons stockpiles, the military noted.
