The IDF announced Thursday it destroyed two additional underground Hezbollah routes beneath the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon. The tunnels spanned some 200 meters and contained dozens of weapons, according to the military.
At 17:01 Jerusalem, the IDF announced the destruction of two additional underground Hezbollah routes beneath the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon. The tunnels spanned a combined length of approximately 200 meters. Within minutes, the military released further details: the tunnels were 20 meters deep, contained living quarters, three launch shafts oriented toward Israeli territory, and dozens of weapons, including a cache of mortars, launchers, and RPG rockets.
The operation is the latest in a series of IDF actions in Majdal Zoun over recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 18, forces first entered the village. On June 21, an underground drone 'airfield' was revealed, containing Iranian-made UAVs and launch shafts aimed at Israel's coast (The Zioneer, June 21, 20:16 Jerusalem). The following day, the IDF said it eliminated over 20 terrorists at the site (June 22, 14:50 Jerusalem). On June 28, footage of the demolition of a major tunnel was released, and on June 29, the IDF destroyed a 200-meter strategic facility built with Iranian technology (June 29, 01:51 Jerusalem).
The IDF has characterized these operations as ongoing efforts to neutralize Hezbollah's subterranean infrastructure built close to the border, with Majdal Zoun identified as a key stronghold. The latest finds continue that pattern of sophisticated underground facilities.
No casualty figures have been reported in connection with this operation. The initial statement identified Battle Team 551 and Yahalom special engineering forces as the units involved, but the subsequent detail release did not specify units.
