The IDF says it razed a 140-meter-long Hezbollah tunnel in the Ras al-Bayada headland south of Tyre, in southern Lebanon.
Combat engineers of the elite Yahalom unit blew up the tunnel using 24 tons of explosives this morning, the military says.
Inside the tunnel, the IDF says troops located numerous weapons, as well as rooms where operatives would reside.
The IDF says the tunnel was “recently used by Hezbollah terrorists” to advance attacks.
