Hezbollah's continued aggression was evident when an explosive drone targeted IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon. Fortunately, the attack caused no injuries, but it highlights the persistent danger posed by the terror group. Adding to the gravity of the situation, the IDF uncovered a cache of Hezbollah weapons, including various explosives, rifles, and grenades, disturbingly hidden within a child's bedroom in the Aadshit al-Qusayr area.
