The Israeli military destroyed a network of Iran-backed Hezbollah tunnels in southern Lebanon, warning that additional tunnels remain to be neutralized, The Jerusalem Post reports. The tunnels were designed for surveillance and attacks on Israeli troops and border communities.
The IDF's latest operation targeted a tunnel network built by Hezbollah with Iranian support in southern Lebanon, according to The Jerusalem Post. The military stated that the underground infrastructure was intended not only for surveillance but also to facilitate attacks on Israeli troops and civilian communities near the border. The IDF added that additional tunnels remain and have not yet been destroyed.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, the IDF has been conducting a systematic campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's subterranean capabilities in southern Lebanon. Previous operations included the destruction of a major tunnel in June and the use of hundreds of tons of explosives to neutralize Iranian-built underground compounds. The ongoing effort reflects Israel's strategy to prevent Hezbollah from maintaining offensive infrastructure near the border, despite the November 2024 ceasefire framework.
