01 · THE DISPATCH

Channel 14 correspondent Shalev Kahalon toured the Hezbollah tunnel network beneath Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon, the broadcaster announced Sunday evening. The special access tour is the latest in a series of Israeli media exposures of the massive underground complex.

The IDF has been gradually revealing the Iran-funded tunnel city — which includes living quarters, a medical operating room, and launch shafts — since early June. As The Zioneer reported, troops from the Golani Brigade, Maglan, and Yahalom engineering units have been clearing and demolishing the network. The complex was designed to hold hundreds of fighters and was used for approximately 400 rocket and missile launches toward Israel, according to IDF assessments.

The exact date of the tour and full details of what Kahalon observed were not immediately disclosed. The footage is expected to air in a forthcoming broadcast.
