The IDF released video footage this evening showing the demolition of a major Hezbollah tunnel under the southern Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun. The operation, named 'End of Verse', follows the earlier destruction of a 200-meter tunnel containing hundreds of weapons and launch shafts aimed at Israel, as previously reported at 23:12 and 23:22 Jerusalem time.
The IDF released video footage at 23:49 Jerusalem time showing the controlled demolition of a major Hezbollah underground facility beneath the southern Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun. The operation, named 'End of Verse' (מבצע סוף פסוק), was first announced Sunday night at 23:01 by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, who said the tunnel — over 200 meters long and more than 25 meters deep — was used to assemble, store, and launch Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles. The military confirmed the route contained hundreds of weapons and multiple launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory. Israeli sources say the U.S. and the American representative to Lebanon were informed in advance. Lebanese sources reported that a massive explosion from the demolition was heard across southern Lebanon. The destruction of this tunnel — previously revealed by the IDF in June as a subterranean 'airfield' — marks a significant operational milestone in preventing Hezbollah's ability to direct drone attacks at Israel's coast and northern communities. Prior to this video release, four earlier bulletins and articles from The Zioneer (23:09, 23:12, 23:22, 23:49) tracked the sequence from the initial announcement through the detonation of explosives found inside the destroyed structure. The footage serves as visual confirmation of an operation described as one of the deepest and most strategically significant tunnel demolitions along the Lebanon border in recent months.
