Military journalist Noam Amir said in a Channel 14 interview that the vast Iranian-built underground military city between Tibnit and Hormuz, constructed over a decade, is fully equipped with anti-tank missiles and advanced weaponry — not the 'horse stables' past defense officials dismissed it as. He argued that without destroying this infrastructure, northern residents cannot return home this summer.
Military correspondent Noam Amir, speaking on Channel 14 Sunday evening, issued a sharp warning about the underground military infrastructure Iran has built over the past decade between the Tibnit and Hormuz areas in southern Lebanon. Amir described the complex as a full 'underground city' packed with anti-tank missiles and other advanced weaponry — contradicting past assessments by Israeli defense ministers and chiefs of staff who characterized the sites as 'horse stables.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday (17:58 Jerusalem), Amir directly tied the destruction of these underground facilities to the safe return of northern residents. In his latest remarks, he was explicit: without demolishing that infrastructure, residents of the north should 'look for another place to stay next summer' — reinforcing his assessment that past dismissals were a strategic error.
The claims remain the assessment of a single journalist and are not yet corroborated by official IDF statements or additional independent sources. No official response from the defense establishment to Amir's comments has been reported as of 18:29 Jerusalem.
