The Israeli military uncovered an underground Hezbollah bunker near its border with Lebanon that was stocked with weapons and motorcycles for a planned invasion of Israel, officials said Monday.
Israel Defense Force spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a video tour of the tunnel that Israeli forces located the subterranean terrorist command center in southern Lebanon, with the base stretching across nearly half a mile of land — and set to be used for “a larger scale of a massacre than Oct. 7.”
Inside, the IDF soldiers found helicopter missiles, mortar shells, files, ammunition, motorcycles and enough food and supplies to last for days for Hezbollah’s elite Radwan troops as they allegedly prepared for operation “Conquer the Galilee.”
“They were planning, with these motorcycles here, to enter Kiryat Shmona, to Yiftah, to villages and positions inside Israel and conduct a massacre,” Hagari said, claiming it would have been larger than the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.
The IDF captured the underground complex late last week after a Hezbollah fighter was located hiding inside the bunker.
The terrorist was killed by the Israeli Air Force, with ground troops from the Reserve Brigade then infiltrating the base and finding the supplies being readied for Hezbollah’s top fighters.
“This bunker was ready for the battalion of [the terror group’s elite] Radwan forces to … do a raid into Israel and do a larger scale of massacre than Oct. 7,” Hagari said.
This is the second time Israel has accused Hezbollah of plotting an Oct. 7-style invasion into northern Israel, with Israeli President Isaac Herzog claiming that Radwan commanders were planning such an attack last month.
Herzog said an invasion in the north has long been a goal of “the Empire of Evil of Iran,” as he justified an airstrike in Beirut that killed...

Peaceful too.
There should be some room in each for some explosive.
Take it all back to use against all remaining terrorists.

Hezbollah’s elite Radwan troops
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwan_Force
The Radwan Force is a special operations unit in Hezbollah’s armed forces, tasked with launching offensive attacks into Israeli territory and capturing civilian communities in the Galilee.[5] Israeli officials expect the Radwan Force to lead any future Hezbollah infiltration into Israel, similar to the October 7 attacks by Hamas.[6] In addition, the Radwan Force conducts reconnaissance and intelligence operations against Israeli targets using UAVs.[7][4] The unit’s sophistication and advanced weaponry explain how Hezbollah’s has increasingly been viewed as a hybrid actor, especially sophisticated for a non-state actor, since the 2006 Lebanon War.[4][8] and according to Hezbollah, perform “ambushes, assassinations, or operations that require deep infiltration.”[9]
Gotta keep hunting and killing until all of the cockroaches are dead.
That discovery should lead to a jump in applications for weapons permits and firearm sales....
They were mostly peaceful weapons. Just ask the campus protesters!
Israel needs to get off the pot and take real action to protect itself!
…and just how many of these weapons are US made? The US supplied thousands of M-16’s to the Palestinians ( Policing) when Israel was forced to withdraw from Gaza decades ago, Senile Joe’s Afghanistan debacle left a destabilized Iraq with hundreds of thousands arms to Islamic terrorists….coming back to haunt the U.S.
Deja vu. This reminds me of what happened when the Israelis entered Lebanon in 1982, to kick out the PLO. They found a massive stockpile of Soviet-made weapons, so huge that some asked if the Russians were planning to enter Lebanon as partners of the Palestinians, to start World War III. Now it sounds like another such enemy stockpile has turned up. Does anyone else here remember the 1982 incident?
why not just take the personal weapons found a nd ha nd them out.
Good idea.
