According to reports on the 'Nabatieh' news network, Israeli military helicopters are hovering just meters above the entrance of an engineering cave near the village of Tabneh in southern Lebanon. The reports also describe a heavy smoke screen being operated in the area by unspecified forces. The reports are unverified and details remain unclear.
Reports from the 'Nabatieh' news network, circulated in the early hours of Monday, describe Israeli military helicopters hovering mere meters above the entrance of what it calls an 'engineering cave' near the village of Tabneh (al-Tibnah) in southern Lebanon. The reports also mention a heavy smoke screen being deployed in the area by what is described as 'the enemy.' The nature of the cave—whether a weapons cache, command post, or tunnel shaft—has not been specified, and the reports remain unverified.
This activity near Tabneh follows a pattern of recent Israeli military operations in the area. On Wednesday, June 17, The Zioneer reported an Israeli fighter jet striking a target near al-Tibnah. Tabneh is within a strip of southern Lebanon where the IDF has been conducting ground operations in recent days, including demolition of Hezbollah tunnel infrastructure. The heavy smoke screen suggests an effort to obscure movement, possibly to shield engineering or demolition work.
No official IDF comment has been issued on the current report, and no activity was independently confirmed by Israeli media as of Monday morning. The account relies on a single source, the Arabic 'Nabatieh' network, and carries a Developing signal accordingly.
