The IDF releases footage showing the inside of a Hezbollah tunnel that crossed into Israel by several meters and was recently demolished.

According to the IDF, the 20-meter-long tunnel had no exit in Israeli territory, and its path crossed the UN-recognized Blue Line by about 10 meters, in the western sector of the border, near the Lebanese village of Marwahin, just across from the Israeli community of Zar’it.

The tunnel, which has been known to the army since its construction began some two years ago, was physically located by commandos during raids in southern Lebanon several months ago, with the military having full control over the area.
