The Israeli military said on 20 October 2026 that a site in the Kfarra area of southern Lebanon that Hezbollah used to store weapons had been referred to the Lebanese Army through the US-led monitoring mechanism in December 2025, and that the Lebanese Army later said it had dealt with it. The IDF said that months after that statement Hezbollah was still operating at the site and removing weapons, released footage it said showed operatives loading weapons onto a truck, and said its troops then struck the truck. It also said elements of the Lebanese Army had coordinated with Hezbollah on enforcement. The IDF did not say when the strike took place. No Lebanese Army or Hezbollah response was read.
