The IDF announced that its 401st Armored Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit destroyed an underground Hezbollah command center located beneath a construction materials factory in the security zone in southern Lebanon. The military said the operation targeted a key terror infrastructure site and provided a link to the official statement.
The IDF on Wednesday morning officially released documentation and a link to its statement confirming the destruction of a Hezbollah underground command center concealed beneath a construction materials factory in the security zone in southern Lebanon. The operation, carried out by the 401st Armored Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, was first reported by The Zioneer at 11:15 Jerusalem, and the military's official announcement now provides a direct link to the details.
At 11:15 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the 55-meter tunnel, located three hundred meters from a UNIFIL post, contained three living quarters and dozens of weapons. The operation was described as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle Hezbollah's fortified infrastructure near the border. Earlier versions of the thread noted that the tunnel was built beneath a construction materials factory in the village of Haddatha, and that a pit with dozens of weapons was found nearby.
The strike is the latest in a broader IDF campaign targeting Hezbollah's subterranean network in southern Lebanon, a campaign that has included the destruction of command centers, weapons caches, and drone facilities, as The Zioneer has reported. The IDF maintains a strategic security zone in the region to prevent the re-establishment of Hezbollah's armed presence.
No new information has emerged regarding casualties or further developments in the immediate area.
