Unverified Lebanese military sources cited by the Al-Jadeed channel report that Israel refuses to hand over a Hezbollah facility it located in Majdal Zon to the Lebanese army, and insists on detonating it itself — warning local residents of a potentially earthquake-level blast.
A report by the Lebanese Al-Jadeed channel, citing unidentified military sources, claims that Israel has refused to hand over a Hezbollah facility located in the village of Majdal Zon to the Lebanese Armed Forces for disposal. According to the sources, Israel insists on demolishing the site itself, and has reportedly issued advance warnings to local residents about the expected force of the blast, which could be equivalent to an earthquake.
This development comes against the backdrop of earlier reports — including an earlier The Zioneer bulletin — that Israel was considering allowing the Lebanese army to take control of a Hezbollah tunnel site as a test of Beirut's resolve. The current report suggests Israel has shifted away from that diplomatic track for this particular facility.
The IDF has not commented on the report, and the claim remains unverified by Israeli or independent sources. Majdal Zon is a village in the Nabatieh Governorate of southern Lebanon, within the area where the IDF has been conducting operations against Hezbollah infrastructure.
