The IDF's Givati Brigade captured several Hezbollah terrorists from southern Lebanon and took them in for questioning on Monday evening.
The capture occured during an operation to locate weapons in the area; IDF troops discovered several armed Hezbollah Radwan Force operatives active at an anti-tank missile launch point.
Once identified, the Hezbollah fighters surrendered, evidently due to the "expanded IDF activity focused on eliminating terrorist infrastructure in the area," according to the IDF report, which added that troops confiscated "a large amount of weapons and gear" from their persons.
The operatives were immediately interrogated by Israeli security officials upon their arrival in Israeli territory, according to the IDF report.
IDF locates and neutralizes missile launch positions during raids
The Givati Brigade's recent raids in southern Lebanon have also allowed the IDF to locate and neutralize an anti-tank missile launch position and several weapons in the area.
A military official told Reuters earlier on Monday he couldn't comment about politicians' remarks or the government's long-term plans, but that the Israeli ground troops were limiting their raids to areas near the border, far from the Litani.
