The 8th Reserve Brigade and the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit destroy a tunnel and bunker network belonging to Hezbollah’s Radwan force, according to the IDF.

The underground complex, which includes rooms for extended stays and weapons caches, was situated under civilian homes, according to the army.

The network was part of the Radwan force’s preparations for invading northern Israel, says the IDF.

Earlier today, IAF planes attacked dozens of Hezbollah targets around Nabatiyeh, including weapons stashes and command centers, also situated next to civilian structures, says the IDF.

Lebanese security sources say that the mayor of Nabatiyeh and five others were killed in the strike, which they said hit municipal infrastructure in the city.
