IDF forces in southern Lebanon capture a Hezbollah fighter in an underground bunker.

According to the IDF, troops identified a tunnel shaft inside a building leading to a 50-square-meter room some seven meters underground. The terror operative was hunkered down in the bunker, which also held weapons and supplies for an extended stay underground.

Video shows IDF troops instructing the Hezbollah fighter in Arabic to climb slowly out of the bunker, wearing only his underwear and shoes.

According to the IDF, the operative was taken to a detention facility inside of Israel for interrogation.
