The IDF released footage Sunday night showing the demolition of a large Hezbollah tunnel in southern Lebanon, which the military said contained hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory. The video was published by military correspondent Nitzan Shapira via the N12 chat. The release comes after a series of earlier disclosures Sunday about the same tunnel network.
The thread began at 23:01 Jerusalem with a joint announcement by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz that the IDF had destroyed a 200-meter, 25-meter-deep Hezbollah facility in the village of Majdal Zoun, initially described as a drone assembly and launch site. Within minutes, at 23:01, follow-on reports indicated the tunnel housed hundreds of weapons and multiple launch shafts aimed at Israel. At 23:12, the IDF was reported to have detonated an explosives cache found inside the same tunnel, and by 23:01, Lebanese sources reported the final tunnel demolition. The current footage adds a visual record to the sequence of confirmed IDF operations under the name 'End of Verse'.
As The Zioneer reported in the thread, Israel informed the U.S. and the American representative to Lebanon in advance of the operation. The Zioneer earlier reported on broader Hezbollah tunnel networks in the region, including a separate IDF announcement on June 7 regarding a tunnel network in the Beaufort area tied to approximately 400 launches.
It remains unclear from the footage whether the video depicts the demolition in Majdal Zoun specifically or a different tunnel in southern Lebanon. The IDF has not specified the precise location or timing of the detonation shown.
