Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed the demolition of a significant Hezbollah terror tunnel on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces disclosed the destruction of tunnels constructed by Hezbollah over nearly a decade. Netanyahu emphasized the destruction of Hezbollah’s terror infrastructure, mentioning the elimination of numerous terrorists with more actions planned.
The Israel Defense Forces, during operations in Qantara, southern Lebanon, uncovered the most substantial underground passage discovered in Lebanon to date. The tunnel, stretching approximately 2 kilometers and descending up to 25 meters underground, was funded by Iran and obliterated with 450 tonnes of explosives on Tuesday.
This tunnel, dug into rocky granite bedrock 25 meters deep, featured 30 shafts and extended over 2 kilometers along two separate axes. Inside, the tunnel housed 30 living quarters, showers, corridors adorned with images of ayatollah regime leaders, and ornate lamps. The tunnels also concealed a significant weapons cache utilized by hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists from Radwan’s force.
Lieutenant Colonel H from the 1st Infantry Division of the Hellenic Army, who has extensive experience exploring underground tunnels, described the tunnels as unique. He recounted encountering bunkers, rooms filled with weapons, well-equipped waiting areas, and intricate winding passages. The Israel Defense Forces reported the destruction of 14 kilometers of underground tunnels in the Northern Gaza Strip on Monday.
Netanyahu directed the Israel Defense Forces to intensively target Hezbollah sites in Lebanon on Sunday.
