Israel Destroys Hezbollah Tunnel Network in South Lebanon, Triggering 4.1-Magnitude Tremor
The underground compound stretched more than 2 kilometers and held rockets, missiles, drones and mines, Israeli officials said.
- On Thursday, Israel demolished key tunnels beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, triggering a 4.1 magnitude tremor in the area.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz called the tunnels "strategic terrorist infrastructure" built over two decades with "Iranian funding and planning."
- The underground compound included a command centre for Hezbollah's "Badr" unit and contained "dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles, and UAVs," extending more than 1.2 kilometres.
- "We were sitting there and everything shook," Joelle Fares, who recently moved to Majayoun, told AFP; Beirut authorities report Israeli strikes have killed more than 4,300 people since March.
- Following the capture of the ridge last week, Israeli forces continue to occupy a so-called "security zone" in the south, while strikes have intensified, killing 13 people after a weeks-long lull.
