Troops of the IDF’s Commando Brigade and elite Yahalom Unit demolished several Hezbollah tunnel shafts that the military says were used by operatives to get close to the Israeli border in southern Lebanon.

The soldiers also located and demolished underground caches of weapons, observation posts, and rocket launching sites in villages in southern Lebanon.

Dozens of Hezbollah operatives were also killed in airstrikes directed by the commandos, the military adds.
