Seemingly to try to support its narrative of needing more time to destroy Hezbollah weapons – which it says that the Lebanese army has been too slow to eliminate – the IDF also announced on Wednesday that it had found an entirely new stash of concealed weapons near the border.

The idea that Russia did not know that its weapons were reaching Hezbollah seems far-fetched. In the end, the exhibition served as a deeply sobering reminder of the dangers Israel confronts. It underlined the need for continuous vigilance and readiness.

IDF stresses that the strikes were ordered after the threat posed by the targets was presented to the monitoring mechanism of the ceasefire understandings between Israel and Lebanon, but was not addressed.

At least 21 Palestinians were injured, 11 severely, after dozens of Israeli civilians, some of whom were masked, arrived at the area of Al Funduq, in the West Bank, and "instigated riots, set property on fire and caused damage," according to the Israel Defense Forces.
