The IDF detonated a massive terror tunnel in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon overnight, the military said. The operation follows the destruction of a 200-meter Hezbollah tunnel at the same location confirmed by Israeli leaders earlier Monday.
IDF forces carried out a controlled demolition of a major underground terror tunnel in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon overnight Monday, according to footage released by military sources. The operation comes hours after Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz confirmed that a 200-meter-long, 25-meter-deep Hezbollah tunnel containing hundreds of weapons and multiple launch shafts was destroyed at the same location earlier Monday.
The demolition is part of an ongoing IDF campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's subterranean infrastructure in southern Lebanon since the April ceasefire. As The Zioneer has reported, the military has expanded its controlled area in the region and captured key positions including the Ali al-Taher ridge. The IDF has booby-trapped and demolished buildings in Majdal Zoun over the past two weeks, indicating its forces hold the village.
The precise dimensions of this overnight demolition and whether it is the same tunnel announced earlier or a separate segment have not been specified. Footage circulating Monday morning appears to show a large explosion near the village.
