A Channel 14 military correspondent reports on a 'crazy' event involving massive terror tunnels in northern Israel, drawing a comparison to a previous incident, according to journalist Noam Amir.
Hours after initial reports emerged on Saturday evening regarding the scale of Hezbollah's tunnel network in southern Lebanon, Channel 14 military correspondent Noam Amir drew a comparison to a previous incident, describing the event as "crazy." The remark, posted on social media at 23:20 Jerusalem, comes on the same day the IDF confirmed troops are navigating a complex underground fortification carved into the Ali al-Taher ridge over more than a decade, as The Zioneer reported at 22:49 Jerusalem.
The thread of reports began Saturday at 22:49 Jerusalem, when journalist Amit Segal (N12) first revealed the extent of the Hezbollah tunnel network, calling it "monstrous" and contrasting it with Gaza's sandy tunnels. Minutes later, at 22:49 Jerusalem, the IDF confirmed its troops were actively operating within the fortified tunnel complex, describing it as a key strategic base for the Iran-backed organization. The corroboration moved from a single journalist's report to an official military acknowledgment within the same minute.
As The Zioneer reported on Saturday evening, the tunnels were built over a decade with Iranian funding, carved into rock on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, and are described by analysts as Iran's intended main battleground for a war with Israel. The comparison by Noam Amir to a previous incident suggests a possible reference to earlier cross-border tunnel activity, though the specific event remains unspecified.
No official details have been provided on the exact location of the tunnels Noam Amir referenced, nor on any immediate security measures or operational timeline. The comparison to a previous incident remains unattributed to a named source beyond the correspondent's social media post.
