The IDF carried out multiple ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon on Monday, including airstrikes and drone strikes on buildings in Nabatiyeh, Mayfadoun, and Froun, alongside clearing operations and the demolition of a 200-meter Hezbollah drone tunnel in Majdal Zoun. The military said the 25-meter-deep tunnel was used to store and assemble Iranian-made UAVs, and that it also targeted three command centers and an MLRS launcher. Hezbollah acknowledged the attacks and reiterated its right to self-defense.
The IDF on Monday released additional details on the demolition of a 200-meter Hezbollah drone tunnel in Majdal Zoun, southern Lebanon, confirming the facility reached a depth of 25 meters and was used to store and assemble Iranian-made UAVs. The military stated the operation—part of a broader wave of strikes, including attacks on three command centers and an MLRS launcher—was carried out in coordination with the United States. Hezbollah acknowledged the strikes and reiterated its right to self-defense.
As The Zioneer has reported, the demolition follows a week-long sequence of operations targeting the same underground site. On Sunday June 28, the IDF initially disclosed the destruction of an underground route containing hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts (23:07 Jerusalem). Subsequent versions of the bulletin, all published at 23:07, further identified the route as a 200-meter complex built with Iranian technology, and then as a drone tunnel specifically used by Hezbollah. By 23:07 (version 6), Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz confirmed the operation as the final stage of Operation 'Final Verse'. The Zioneer's earlier coverage (Sunday June 21) had revealed a vast tunnel complex in Majdal Zoun containing hundreds of drones and missiles.
Attributed background from The Zioneer cited Sunday night's IDF strikes on three Hezbollah headquarters in Nabatieh and Meifadoun, in response to ongoing attacks on Israeli forces in the security zone. The military maintains it is acting in self-defense against reported ceasefire violations by Hezbollah. The U.S. was reportedly notified in advance of the demolition.
It remains unclear whether the tunnel demolition marks the final neutralization of Hezbollah's underground UAV infrastructure in Majdal Zoun, or whether further shafts or facilities remain undetected. The IDF has not disclosed the exact timing of the blast, only that Western Galilee residents were warned beforehand.
