The IDF released footage showing the destruction of a Hezbollah terror tunnel shaft by the 55th Brigade Combat Team in the security zone in southern Lebanon, the military said.
The IDF released footage Sunday evening documenting the destruction of a Hezbollah underground shaft in the security zone in southern Lebanon, providing visual confirmation of an operation previously reported in text and photographs. The footage was released by the military, which said the operation was carried out by the 55th Brigade Combat Team.
Earlier today, at 18:00 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported in a series of updates that forces from the 55th Brigade and the Yahalom combat engineering unit, operating under Division 91, located and destroyed the weapons shaft. The troops seized Kalashnikov rifles, anti-tank missiles and launchers, artillery, and RPG rockets, according to the military. The IDF later released photos of the weapons cache. The footage released this evening shows the destruction of the shaft itself.
The IDF has been conducting ongoing operations against Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon as part of efforts to degrade the terror group's ability to threaten Israeli forces. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, these operations have included strikes on weapons trucks and infrastructure sites, as well as engagements at the Ali al-Taher ridge, where dozens of Hezbollah operatives have been trapped in subterranean complexes. The operation documented tonight is part of this broader campaign.
The footage release offers visual corroboration of the destruction, which was previously described in military statements and photographs.
