Seven Hezbollah operatives who were operating out of a tunnel in southern Lebanon were killed in strikes this week, the military says.

The IDF says reservists of the 551st Paratroopers Brigade spotted two cells of Hezbollah gunmen emerging from the tunnel, which was used by Hezbollah to store weapons and to carry out attacks.

The operatives were killed in airstrikes, artillery shelling, and by explosive drones, the army says, adding that troops found weapons and equipment near the tunnel afterward.
