IDF Destroys Hezbollah Tunnels in Southern Lebanon

The operation was conducted by the combat team of the 7th Armored Brigade alongside the Yahalom combat engineering unit, operating under the command of the 36th Division. After investigating the subterranean structures, the forces demolished them. Inside the tunnels, soldiers discovered living quarters and various weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, a machine gun, and anti-tank missiles.

Concurrently, the 7th Brigade continued ground searches in the area, locating and destroying dozens of additional terror infrastructures and weapons caches. The Yahalom unit, which specializes in complex engineering threats, assisted in neutralizing these underground hazards. The IDF released video footage depicting soldiers navigating the tunnels before they were blown up.

The IDF stated that the operations aim to remove immediate threats to the State of Israel and prevent the terrorist organization Hezbollah from harming Israeli civilians and forces. The military emphasized that it will continue to act to neutralize these threats while adhering to the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
