  • The Israeli army located a Hezbollah tunnel over 200 meters long in the Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun.
  • The tunnel contained four rocket launch shafts, explosives, anti-tank missiles, and drones, according to the army.
  • Israel has expanded its ground presence in southern Lebanon, with clashes occurring in areas like Ali Taher hills.

Israeli troops have discovered a Hezbollah tunnel exceeding 200 meters in length within the Lebanese village of Majdal Zoun, located in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military stated that units from the 551st Brigade, operating under the 91st Division, are active in the Majdal Zoun area, approximately ten kilometers deep into Lebanese territory.

The discovered tunnel reportedly features four rocket launch shafts, along with storage areas for explosives, anti-tank missiles, and drones. The army also reported dismantling over 50 "terrorist infrastructures," including observation posts and weapon storage facilities in Majdal Zoun. This operation comes as Israel has been expanding its territorial control in southern Lebanon.

Majdal Zoun is one of several Lebanese villages recently occupied by Israeli forces. The military's ground presence in the area began about a week and a half ago. Clashes have also intensified in other locations, such as the southern Ali Taher hills, where Israeli soldiers have sustained casualties. Lebanon reported one of its bloodiest days in weeks recently, with at least 48 people killed, while four Israeli soldiers died following an explosive drone attack attributed to Hezbollah in the Ali Taher area.
