The IDF has destroyed a major Hezbollah tunnel in southern Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Sunday night. The operation, code-named 'End of Verse', targeted a 200-meter tunnel near the border in southern Lebanon. Officials said the tunnel contained hundreds of weapons and launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory, and that Israel coordinated with the United States and the American representative to Lebanon before the strike.
This is the latest in a series of IDF operations targeting Hezbollah's underground infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, a previous phase of the same operation saw Israeli forces detonate explosive materials inside a destroyed tunnel in the village of Majdal Zoun. The campaign, which the defense minister last week described as systematic, has focused on destroying terror infrastructure in villages along the border fence. The tunnel destruction comes amid ongoing Israeli operations in southern Lebanon designed to neutralize Hezbollah's offensive capabilities.
