An IDF commander provided a rare inside look at the military's ongoing campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's extensive tunnel network in southern Lebanon, describing the operation as a transformation of the S-2 engineering unit into a 'living laboratory of underground warfare.'
The commander, whose remarks were published by The Zioneer, characterized the tunnels as 'crazy, Iranian' constructions, underscoring the scale and sophistication of the subterranean infrastructure built by Hezbollah with Iranian support.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past several weeks, the IDF has systematically destroyed Hezbollah tunnel complexes, including a drone factory and a UAV storage facility containing dozens of Iranian-made kamikaze drones. The campaign has involved unprecedented volumes of explosives, according to Israeli media.
The S-2 unit's role has evolved from routine engineering tasks to frontline counter-tunnel operations, reflecting the broader shift in the IDF's approach to underground warfare since the October 7 attacks.
