The IDF released new footage Friday morning showing the demolition of the massive underground Hezbollah tunnel network beneath the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon. The military said the network, built over two decades with Iranian funding, was neutralized using 700 tons of explosives.
The IDF on Friday morning released official footage showing the destruction of Hezbollah's underground tunnel network beneath the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon. The footage, published by the military's spokesperson unit, depicts the demolition of the complex's main routes, which the IDF said was carried out using approximately 700 tons of explosives.
The operation was first announced early Friday, after a Hezbollah ceasefire violation on Thursday prompted the IDF to neutralize the network. As The Zioneer reported at 01:12, the military described the complex as a central command center for Hezbollah's Badr unit, built over two decades with direct Iranian funding and planning. At 09:18, footage reportedly from military sources was circulated, described as "deadly."
The new official release confirms the scale of the demolition. The Beaufort Ridge network, located six kilometers from the Israeli town of Metula, included living quarters, weapons depots, and launch shafts aimed at Israel. The IDF has maintained operational control over the site for weeks.
This is the latest in a series of disclosures about the Iran-funded subterranean city, which the IDF has been systematically exposing and destroying since gaining control of the ridge.
