Hezbollah bunkers on the Lebanese side of the Mount Dov border area were recently demolished by combat engineers, the IDF says, in an operation that “neutralized all the threats” in the area.
The military says troops of the 810th “Mountains” Regional Brigade, alongside combat engineers and the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion, carried out a raid in the Mount Dov area in recent weeks, “as part of the defensive effort to destroy tunnels of the Hezbollah terror organization in the enemy’s staging grounds.”
The soldiers found and explored several underground sites belonging to Hezbollah, and seized weapons and equipment in them.
The IDF says that this past week, combat engineers “demolished all of the findings and underground infrastructures, and neutralized all the threats in this area.”
