The Israeli army’s Arabic-speaking spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, accused Hezbollah of transporting military equipment in civilian trucks in coastal areas of southern Lebanon, warning that "any truck traveling near the coast may be in danger due to Hezbollah's presence in the area."
Adraee also published a map highlighting the concerned coastal area, from the Lebanese-Israeli border, crossing all of southern Lebanon, and even including areas further north, although it did not include the capital.
"It is estimated that some of these weapons are intended to be used for terrorist operations, including plans targeting the border area, ships and maritime targets," he added. "These trucks move within coastal cities and appear as civilian trucks in order to blend in and position themselves among the local population," the spokesperson said.
