The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced today (Sunday) that troops uncovered a major underground tunnel network in the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon, roughly five miles from the Israeli border. The discovery came during operations by the 551st Brigade Combat Team under the 91st Division, which has been operating in the fortified village. The findings point to extensive terror infrastructure throughout the area.
The Yahalom combat engineering unit located the underground network, which stretches over 650 feet and reaches depths of more than 80 feet. The tunnel contained four launch shafts aimed at Israel, along with 12 rooms used for housing operatives and storing weapons. Among the items found were explosive charges, anti-tank missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
During the extensive operation in Majdal Zoun, Israeli forces eliminated over 20 Hezbollah terror operatives, including more than ten members of the elite Radwan Force. Troops also destroyed over 50 terror infrastructure sites, including observation posts and weapons depots that posed a threat to northern Israeli communities.
