IDF troops identified and dismantled an Iranian-made canon pointed toward the state of Israel on Mount Dov in southern Lebanon, the military reported on Saturday afternoon.

Alongside the cannon, troops uncovered rockets and rocket launchers aimed at Israel. 

The 810th Brigade commander, Col. Liron Appleman, promised that the IDF would continue to secure the area until Israel's northern border was safe.

Hezbollah's attacks on Israel

The discovery was announced after the Israeli air force struck a number of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon's capital city.

The Alpinist Unit and 810th Brigade recently conducted a localized raid on the southern Lebanese village of Chebaa, where they dismantled the Hezbollah launch site responsible for the rocket that killed 12 Druze children in Majdal Shams.
