TL;DR

The IDF completed the demolition of a massive underground missile tunnel in southern Lebanon as part of Operation 'End of Verse.' The tunnel was built with Iranian funding and contained hundreds of weapons alongside launch shafts, according to military officials.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The IDF announced Monday morning the destruction of a 'giant' tunnel in southern Lebanon, the latest milestone in Operation 'End of Verse' (Sof Pasuk) — a campaign targeting Hezbollah's underground infrastructure. The tunnel, built with Iranian funding, contained hundreds of weapons and multiple launch shafts, the military said.

As The Zioneer reported overnight (Sunday, 23:22 Jerusalem), Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz confirmed the demolition of a 200-meter strategic facility in Majdal Zoun, containing launch shafts aimed at Israel. Earlier reports indicated the IDF was using unprecedented quantities of explosives — exceeding any front in the current war — to demolish the network, which journalist Amit Segal (N12) described as being built by Iran on a massive scale.

The operation evolved through the night: a similar 200-meter underground drone facility was destroyed around 01:10, and further demolitions of an explosives cache and a major terror tunnel followed. Monday morning's announcement appears to consolidate the campaign's achievements, describing the latest tunnel as built with direct Iranian funding — a detail reflecting the scale of the threat dismantled. The IDF has not yet specified the exact location or length of this particular tunnel.
