IDF to Detonate Large Tunnel Network in Southern Lebanon, Loud Explosion Expected in Northern Israel

Israeli authorities have warned residents along the northern border that a powerful explosion will be heard in the Western Galilee in the coming hours due to the destruction of a large tunnel network in southern Lebanon. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) uncovered the extensive underground complex beneath the village of Majdal Zoun about a week ago. The tunnel system extends over 200 meters in length and reaches a depth of 29 meters, featuring 12 rooms designed for habitation and weapons storage, reinforced blast doors, and construction standards allowing vehicle movement inside.

Military sources indicated that the tunnel complex showed significant Iranian involvement. Majdal Zoun is considered a strategic location controlling the city of Tyre and its surrounding valley due to its elevation advantage. The expected explosion is so powerful that it may trigger independent earthquake detection systems, which are not connected to Israel's Home Front Command alert network. Authorities have reassured residents that this is not an earthquake and that there is no danger to the population.

The IDF's operation to destroy the tunnel network aims to neutralize underground threats along the Lebanese border. Residents near the conflict line have been informed to expect the loud blast as part of this security measure.
