The Lead

The IDF completed the destruction of a major Hezbollah underground facility beneath the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon on Sunday night. The operation, conducted by the 551st Brigade Combat Team and the Yahalom Unit under the 91st Division, neutralized a tunnel network over 200 meters long and 25 meters deep that contained hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts intended for strikes against Israeli territory.

The destruction of the facility was confirmed in a joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz as part of the ongoing Operation 'Sof Pasuk' (End of Verse). According to the IDF, the underground infrastructure was a strategic asset for Hezbollah, built using technology and knowledge provided by the Iranian regime. The complex was equipped with four specialized launch shafts designed to fire directly into Israeli population centers. ### Strategic Demolition The operation in Majdal Zoun follows earlier IDF activity in the same village, where forces previously uncovered a drone-operations compound and a 29-meter-deep stronghold. This latest demolition targeted a network that served as a storage and launch hub, housing a significant cache of munitions. The IDF stated that its commanders and soldiers remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon to continue the systematic removal of such threats to northern Israeli communities. ### Diplomatic Coordination and Iranian Involvement In a notable detail regarding the operation's sensitivity, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that Israel notified the United States and its special envoy in Lebanon ahead of the demolition. The military emphasized that the facility's construction relied on Iranian expertise, highlighting the deep integration of IRGC-linked technology within Hezbollah's border-adjacent infrastructure. Reports from Lebanon indicated a massive explosion in the Majdal Zoun area as the network was detonated. No casualties were reported during the operation.
