The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage showing the discovery and demolition of a 100-meter-long underground tunnel belonging to Hezbollah's elite Radwan force in southern Lebanon. This tunnel was reportedly used to store various weapons and surveillance equipment. The operation was conducted by the IDF's 300th Brigade, part of the 146th Division, as part of ongoing efforts to dismantle threats in the region. The military emphasized that the infrastructure was intended for potential attacks similar to those seen on October 7. The IDF's actions come amid a complex security environment in southern Lebanon, where such tunnels are often associated with militant activities.
