The IDF says troops are continuing to scan a massive Hezbollah tunnel system near the Beaufort Castle.
In one of the tunnel routes, where several Hezbollah operatives tried to break free several days ago, Israeli forces located maps “illustrating control of the area over the northern [Israel] communities,” the army says.
The major tunnel system, which the IDF says was built by Hezbollah with Iranian direct assistance, is to be demolished once troops have finished scanning it.
