The IDF published video footage of the demolition of a 200-meter Hezbollah underground drone facility beneath the southern Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun. The military said the tunnel, reaching depths of 25 meters, was used to assemble, store, and launch Iranian-made UAVs. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz said Israel updated the U.S. and the American representative in Lebanon before the demolition. Western Galilee residents were warned of a powerful blast.
The IDF released official footage of the demolition of the 200-meter Hezbollah underground drone facility in Majdal Zoun on Monday morning. This video documentation follows the operation itself, which was announced earlier by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz. Netanyahu stated that Israel updated the U.S. and the American envoy to Lebanon before the demolition. Western Galilee residents were warned of a powerful blast, and the military said it took care not to trigger Israel's seismic alert system.
As The Zioneer has reported throughout Sunday night, the IDF destroyed the underground complex—located in southern Lebanon's security zone—in multiple stages. Initial reports (at 23:07 Jerusalem) mentioned a tunnel over 200 meters long and 25 meters deep, containing hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts aimed at Israel. The military described the site as a major hub for Hezbollah's UAV capabilities, built using Iranian technology. By 23:09 Jerusalem, Netanyahu and Katz confirmed the tunnel was used for assembling and launching Iranian-made drones as part of Operation 'Final Verse' (Sof Pasuk). Later bulletins (01:10 and 01:51 Monday Jerusalem) detailed the overnight destruction of the facility.
Background context from The Zioneer (published Jun 21) indicates the military had previously revealed a vast Hezbollah tunnel complex in Majdal Zoun containing hundreds of drones and missiles. The current operation continues the campaign to dismantle cross-border infrastructure.
It remains unclear how many drones were stored in the tunnel at the time of demolition, and whether Hezbollah has similar facilities elsewhere in southern Lebanon. No on-record confirmation from the U.S. regarding the coordination has been published.
