The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have uncovered an expansive underground Hezbollah compound in southern Lebanon, specifically in the heart of a civilian neighborhood in the Nabatieh area. The compound, stretching approximately 800 meters, served as a command center for Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force and was equipped with weapons, ammunition, motorcycles, helicopter-fired missiles, mortar shells, and living quarters. The facility included means for long-term stays, such as kitchens stocked with food and supplies, and was intended for use in an invasion into northern Israel, potentially involving a massacre larger than the one on October 7. The IDF's Division 91 was involved in the operation, which also included strikes on Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Navy also conducted strikes on Hezbollah infrastructure, targeting dozens of Hezbollah terror targets in the Nabatieh area and dismantling underground infrastructure used by the Radwan Forces.
