Israeli military forces operating in the security zone of southern Lebanon have completed a complex operation to destroy underground infrastructure belonging to the Hezbollah terror organization. According to the IDF, forces located and destroyed hundreds of meters of underground tunnels that served as launchpads for planned terror attacks against northern Israeli communities. The operation was carried out by the combat team of the 7th Brigade, under the command of Division 36, in close cooperation with soldiers from the Yahalom unit.
Forces systematically worked to remove any direct threat to Israel. During the thorough investigation and subsequent demolition of the deep underground routes, soldiers discovered well-equipped and armed living quarters intended for prolonged stays by Hezbollah operatives, along with numerous weapons. These included Kalashnikov rifles, heavy machine guns, launch positions, and advanced anti-tank missiles aimed at IDF forces and the Israeli home front.
Concurrently with the subterranean threat neutralization, the 7th Brigade continued extensive surface searches. During this overt activity, dozens more terror infrastructures and weapons caches were located and destroyed, clearing the area of immediate threats to communities along the confrontation line.
The operation in southern Lebanon is part of a series of actions undertaken by the IDF in recent months to neutralize threats to Israeli civilians. The military emphasized its continued determined efforts to thwart any attempts by Hezbollah to rebuild its military capabilities or stockpile weapons for attacking IDF forces and the Israeli home front. The IDF has previously reported extensive operations in southern Lebanon, including the destruction of several kilometers of underground routes in various areas.
