Since August 2025, 250 additional Hezbollah weapons depots have been uncovered south of the Litani River. Lebanese Army Commander Gen. Rudolf Haykal insisted, “We in the Lebanese Army do not work for the Israeli enemy.”
The removal of weapons and the exposure of Hezbollah storage sites south of the Litani has become an undeniable reality. Even Hezbollah’s secretary-general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, admitted in multiple speeches that the group implemented what was required under last year’s ceasefire agreement approved by both Lebanon and Israel, based on UN Resolution 1701 after the 2006 war.
According to UNIFIL, more than 360 weapons depots have been found in the area. A Lebanese security source told An-Nahar that at least half—possibly more—were filled with weapons that were not used in the last war. Engineering teams from the Lebanese Army enter each site with UNIFIL present, under strict safety procedures following the deadly August incident in Wadi Zebqin in which six soldiers were killed.
The army has already inspected around 100 depots; at least 250 new ones have been exposed since August. The weapons are mostly medium-sized, and after the ceasefire the army prepared demolition fields in all three sectors to destroy the seized ammunition. The largest is in the town of Qlaiaa in the eastern sector, where at least two demolition operations are carried out weekly.
