The IDF announced it will detonate a vast underground Hezbollah tunnel network in southern Lebanon in the coming hours, according to the military's Northern Command and journalist Amit Segal (N12). The blast, focused in the Western Galilee area, may be strong enough to trigger independent earthquake alert systems in northern Israel. Officials stressed there is no danger to residents and the explosion is part of completing the destruction of enemy infrastructure.
The IDF's Northern Command announced Sunday evening that a large-scale controlled detonation of a Hezbollah underground tunnel network in southern Lebanon will take place in the coming hours. According to a message from the Home Front Command relayed via the Northern Command, the blast is expected to be of high intensity and centered on the central Western Galilee area. The explosion may trigger independent earthquake alert systems not connected to the military's Pecker (Pakar) early-warning network; authorities emphasized this is a planned military activity and not a natural seismic event, posing no danger to civilians.
Journalist Amit Segal (N12) confirmed the operation, specifying it involves the destruction of a major tunnel system. Another report from journalist Nitzan Shapira (N12) further identified the target as a large tunnel network in southern Lebanon. This follows a pattern of sustained IDF activity against Hezbollah's underground assets since the ceasefire, as The Zioneer reported on June 22 ("IDF continues demolishing terror structures in southern Lebanon"). The event remains classified as Developing as it is based on official military and journalist statements ahead of the actual detonation; no reports of harm or damage to Israeli communities are anticipated.
