The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says its observers and Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers located a Hezbollah tunnel near the southern Lebanese town of Qoussair.
UNIFIL says in a statement that the tunnel was “approximately 50 meters” (164 feet) long, and that “several unexploded ordnances” were also found in the area.
“In line with resolution 1701, the findings were handed over to the LAF,” the observer force says, referring to a UN-backed ceasefire resolution between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group.
“UNIFIL continues to patrol, monitor and work with the LAF to help bring back stability and security to the area of operations,” it adds.
