The IDF announced overnight Sunday that it had destroyed an underground route in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon, containing hundreds of weapons and four rocket-launch shafts aimed at Israel. The military released footage of the tunnel's interior. The announcement at 23:07 Jerusalem was the third version of what initially emerged as an unconfirmed report: the first version cited i24NEWS reporting the destruction of an underground site more than 25 meters deep and claiming coordination with the US. Within the same minute at 23:07 Jerusalem, the IDF published its own account specifying the route was 200 meters long and built with Iranian technology; a third, almost identical bulletin at 23:58 Jerusalem added that troops from the 551st Brigade Combat Team and the elite Yahalom unit, under Division 91, carried out the operation.
As The Zioneer reported in a series of dispatches since June 18, Israeli forces have been systematically dismantling Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in Majdal Zoun. On June 21, the IDF uncovered a 29-meter-deep stronghold with 12 rooms and Iranian drones; on June 22, troops eliminated over 20 terrorists at a site described as a drone 'airfield' concealed beneath the village. By June 28, the military had confirmed the destruction of a 200-meter complex built with Iranian technology, findings reinforced by operational footage that the IDF released the same day.
The IDF has not disclosed whether the neutralized launch shafts were fully operational at the time of destruction. No reports of casualties among Israeli forces in this specific operation have emerged.
