The military's 300th Baram Regional Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit demolished a Hezbollah underground tunnel route spanning dozens of meters in the village, the IDF announced Wednesday afternoon. The tunnel was used by the terror group for planning and executing attacks against Israeli forces.
The IDF confirmed Wednesday afternoon that troops from the 300th Baram Regional Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit demolished a Hezbollah underground tunnel route spanning dozens of meters in the southern Lebanon village of Srebbine. The tunnel was used by the terror group for planning and executing attacks against Israeli forces.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, the operation was first disclosed in the morning hours. At 08:31 Jerusalem, the desk reported that IDF forces had dismantled the tunnel and uncovered a weapons cache in the same area. Subsequent updates throughout the morning added details: the 300th Brigade and Yahalom unit were involved, and in separate operations, the Kfir Brigade destroyed a weapons cache containing rockets and launchers, while Kiryati Brigade reservists located dozens of additional weapons. The IDF's afternoon confirmation provides official closure on the tunnel demolition.
The Srebbine operation is part of a broader IDF campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's subterranean network in southern Lebanon. As The Zioneer has reported, similar operations have targeted tunnel networks in Majdal Zoun, Beaufort Ridge, and Ali al-Taher Ridge, where Hezbollah had constructed extensive underground facilities with Iranian backing. The military has emphasized that these tunnels were designed to facilitate attacks on Israeli communities.
