The IDF releases footage of a Hezbollah tunnel system located by special forces during commando operations in southern Lebanon earlier this year after the site was recently demolished.

Troops of the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade in recent weeks raided several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon to demolish them.

The sites were to be used by Hezbollah for a planned invasion of Israel, according to the IDF.

The tunnel, first raided by the Air Force’s elite Shaldag Unit, was located in “the heart of a civilian neighborhood” in southern Lebanon, the IDF says.

It was used by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force as a weapons depot. Inside the soldiers found numerous weapons and other equipment, according to the military.

The tunnel was recently demolished by combat engineers. In separate operations, the IDF says the 769th Brigade and combat engineers demolished several buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, including a hotel.
