The IDF announced Thursday that it has demolished six Hezbollah tunnel networks in southern Lebanon, four of them under the Beaufort Ridge and one each near the villages of Zaqiyeh and Arnoun. The military said the tunnels served as command nodes for Hezbollah's Badr Unit and were used to launch anti-tank missiles, UAVs, and explosive devices targeting Israeli civilians. The IDF published footage of the detonations and reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.
The IDF announced Thursday that it has completed the demolition of six Hezbollah tunnel networks in southern Lebanon, four of them located under the strategic Beaufort Ridge. The military released footage of the controlled detonations and stated that the tunnels served as command nodes for Hezbollah's Badr Unit, used to launch anti-tank missiles, UAVs, and explosive devices targeting Israeli civilians. One tunnel was near Zaqiyeh and another near Arnoun.
This follows a prior report by The Zioneer on Friday afternoon that covered the same IDF announcement. The demolition of the Beaufort Ridge tunnel network, which The Zioneer previously described as a massive Iran-funded complex, represents the neutralization of one of Hezbollah's most significant strategic assets in southern Lebanon. As reported in earlier briefings, the network was designed to facilitate a large-scale invasion of Galilee communities and had been targeted after the IDF determined Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire.
The IDF reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, emphasizing that the operation was conducted in accordance with the terms.
