The IDF releases footage showing a Hezbollah weapons cache and tunnel being demolished by combat engineers in southern Lebanon.

The site had been discovered by troops of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, who are operating in Lebanon under the Alon Reserve Brigade. It marks the first time in the unit’s history that it is operating in Lebanon.

According to the IDF, during a raid in a southern Lebanon village, the troops found a tunnel shaft that led to underground infrastructure.

Next to the shaft was a weapons depot, ammunition, and a motorcycle, which the IDF says “were prepared for an invasion” of Israel.
