IDF delegation held ‘good’ talks with Russian counterparts on Hezbollah tunnels

The IDF says a senior delegation dispatched to Moscow yesterday is heading home this afternoon following “good and professional” talks with their Russian counterparts about their ongoing operation to destroy Hezbollah tunnels burrowed under Israel’s border with Lebanon.

A statement from the army says the military brass discussed ways to improve military coordination in Syria to avoid “friction” between the two armies. The IDF officials underscored Israel’s position that it will continue operating against Iran and its proxies north of its borders.

Israel frequently carries out airstrikes against Iran and its allies in Syria in an effort to prevent sophisticated weaponry from reaching its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah.

Russia and Israel have maintained a hotline to coordinate operations and prevent any collisions between warplanes over neighboring Syria.
