IDF uncovers major Hezbollah tunnel complex beneath southern Lebanese village
More than 20 operatives killed and over 50 terrorist sites dismantled as troops discover a 650-feet underground network containing launch shafts, missiles and UAVs


The IDF announced Sunday that troops operating in southern Lebanon uncovered a large underground Hezbollah tunnel network containing hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory.
The findings indicate that the village had been heavily fortified and saturated with Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure.
During the operation, Israeli forces eliminated more than 20 Hezbollah operatives, including over 10 members of the elite Radwan Force. Troops also dismantled more than 50 terrorist sites, including observation posts, weapons depots and other military infrastructure.
Engineers from the Yahalom combat engineering unit uncovered a significant underground tunnel system stretching more than 200 meters (650 feet) in length and reaching a depth of over 25 meters (82 feet). The complex contained four launch shafts directed toward Israel and 12 separate rooms used for operational purposes.
