IDF: 2 Hezbollah tunnels, one that would have been used in planned invasion, demolished by troops

Two Hezbollah tunnels were recently demolished by combat engineers during operations in southern Lebanon, the IDF says.

The sites had been located by reservists with the Carmeli Brigade.

One of the tunnels, which served as an underground command center, was located dozens of meters below a Lebanese village. The IDF says that several Hezbollah operatives were holed up in the site, and were killed.

Another tunnel, found by the troops close to the Israeli border, served as a weapons depot for Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, and would have been used in a planned invasion of Israel, according to the military.

The IDF says the two tunnels were demolished.

Separately, the military says that the reservists seized dozens of Hezbollah weapons during their operations in southern Lebanon, including 11 trucks packed with anti-tank missiles, launchers, grenades, and assault rifles.
