Share this @internewscast.com

Israeli military sources reported the discovery of a Hezbollah weapons cache concealed within a hospital in Lebanon over the weekend.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) executed a mission in the Bint Jbeil municipality of Lebanon. Photographs provided to Fox News depict an array of weapons, ammunition, and explosives that Israeli authorities claim were hidden inside the hospital.

According to the IDF, around 20 militants were neutralized within the hospital grounds after Hezbollah operatives were observed monitoring and attacking IDF personnel from a hospital window.

The IDF released a statement accusing Hezbollah of consistently exploiting the hospital and its vicinity for military activities, branding it a grave breach of international law.

The Israeli forces emphasized their adherence to international law, noting that they had previously informed Lebanese authorities about the necessity to halt military operations in hospitals. Despite delivering warnings through multiple channels, Hezbollah persisted in using the hospital for its military endeavors, according to the IDF’s statement.

Israel has continued operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon amid a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran this week.

The operation comes after U.S. talks with Iranian officials failed to make progress this weekend in Pakistan.

Speaking during a press conference from the Serena Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, Vice President JD Vance said Iran has “chosen not to accept our terms.”

“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” Vance said. “And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.”

The vice president said talks with Iranian officials lasted 21 hours, describing them as “substantive discussions,” but adding the U.S. was unwilling to compromise on its “red lines.”

“So we go back to the United States, having not come to an agreement. We’ve made very clear what our red lines are, what things we’re willing to accommodate them on and what things we’re not willing to accommodate them on,” Vance added. “And we’ve made that as clear as we possibly could, and they have chosen not to accept our terms.”

Fox News Digital asked Vance if he had been in contact with President Donald Trump during the talks, and the vice president said he had been “consistently.”

“I don’t know how many times we talked to him — a half dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours,” Vance said, adding that the U.S. team was also communicating with other members of the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
