IDF destroys Hezbollah stronghold where Nasrallah declared Israel ‘weaker than a spid

A Kornet anti-tank missile was still sitting inside the Humvee when Lt. Col. S., a reserve deputy commander in the IDF’s 401st Armored Brigade, crossed the border into Lebanon near the northern Israeli community of Avivim. “We found it before dawn inside a civilian home, aimed toward Israel,” he said. “I have not even had time to hand it over yet.” He pointed to an assault rifle and a hunting rifle recovered from the same luxury villa in a Shiite village. Israeli forces blew up the house overnight after identifying it as Hezbollah military infrastructure. The scene offered a glimpse of the campaign now unfolding around Bint Jbeil, a southern Lebanese town long regarded as one of Hezbollah’s most important symbolic and operational strongholds. Shortly before reporters entered the area, IDF troops cleared the access route to their destination, Bint Jbeil’s so-called Spider Web Stadium.
