A massive explosion reportedly destroyed an underground Hezbollah command center in the village of Khadata in southern Lebanon on Wednesday afternoon. The source of the blast was not immediately confirmed, and the IDF has not issued an official statement on the reported incident.
The report comes hours after the IDF announced, at 11:15 Jerusalem time, that its 401st Armored Brigade and elite Yahalom combat engineering unit had destroyed an underground Hezbollah command center concealed beneath a construction materials factory in the same village. The military described the facility as a 55-meter tunnel containing three living quarters and dozens of weapons, located approximately 300 meters from a UNIFIL post. The IDF released footage of the operation.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Israeli operations targeting Hezbollah's subterranean military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, including the destruction of a bunker complex described as a "fortress" and a command center hidden beneath a factory.
It remains unclear whether the report of the explosion in Khadata is a separate incident or a delayed confirmation of the IDF operation. No details on casualties or the specific cause of the blast have been released.
