WATCH: IDF destroys Hezbollah tunnels using over 100 tons of explosives

IDF soldiers from the combat team "Hazaken" and the Yahalom Unit, operating under the command of Division 91, located and destroyed four underground infrastructures belonging to Hezbollah, the military said on Saturday. 

Soldiers located and destroyed over 50 tunnel shafts and underground infrastructures that were located in mosques, schools, and other civilian buildings. They also located a munitions warehouse, destroyed terrorist infrastructure, and eliminated many terrorists, the military noted. 

Combat Engineering soldiers, in cooperation with Yahalom, destroyed tunnel shafts and routes using over 100 tons of explosives.   

The IDF destroyed underground headquarters belonging to Radwan terrorists, which contained a space for storing weapons, the means for extended stays, living rooms, ammunition, and more. 

In the same area, dozens of weapons were located, including explosives, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, grenades, RPGs, machine guns, Kalashnikovs, ammunition, and observation technologies. 

Observation posts located by IDF

IDF soldiers raided Hezbollah headquarters and an observation post in southern Lebanon that oversaw Israeli towns in the Galilee, the military said on Saturday. 

Soldiers included those from the 98th Division, which include combat teams of the 7th Brigade, the 55th Brigade, the Paratroopers Brigade, the Commando Brigade, and Yahalom operated in a number of areas deep in southern Lebanon, both above and below ground. 

In these headquarters and observational posts, soldiers located and destroyed explosives and weapons and located intelligence. 

Additionally, soldiers of the 55th Brigade located and destroyed dozens of weapons that included Cornet launchers and other rocket launchers, explosives, RPGs, and other weapons, the IDF reported. 

Combat teams from the Commando and Paratrooper Brigades operated in the deepest areas that the IDF has operated so far in the ground operation in Lebanon. Soldiers continued to raid terrorist infrastructure, locate weapons, and destroy terrorists, the IDF said. 

The IDFs operations in Lebanon have been steadily expanding.

Earlier Saturday, the IDF announced that the 71st Battalion of the 188th Armored Brigade, destroyed dozens of weapons depots, several tunnel shafts, and numerous enemy infrastructures and weapons, also in southern Lebanon.

In recent days, the brigade’s engineering forces discovered a subterranean route connecting two underground shafts in the combat zone. 

The shafts contained long-term accommodation equipment, weapons, and documents used by the organization. The fighters sealed the shafts and rendered them unusable in collaboration with the Northern Command engineering unit.
