IDF: Dismantling of an Underground Tunnel Route and Weapons-Storage Facility Previously Used by the Hezbollah Terrorist Organization: Documentation From the Activity of the 91st Division in Southern Lebanon

During an operation carried out by the 601th Battalion under the command of the 769th Brigade, an underground tunnel route previously used by the Hezbollah terrorist organization was dismantled. The route had been located and neutralized earlier in the war by IDF troops.
In addition, troops from the 300th Brigade dismantled a weapons-storage facility used by Hezbollah.

The underground tunnel route and weapons compound that were dismantled were previously part of Hezbollah’s entrenched infrastructure in southern Lebanon. During the war, IDF troops found inside the tunnel route several weapons, including mortar rounds intended for firing toward Israel.

This was an old, inactive infrastructure; however, its dismantling was carried out to prevent any possibility of future exploitation.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat to the State of Israel, to thwart Hezbollah’s attempts to further strengthen and reconstruct its capabilities, and remains committed to the understandings reached between Israel and Lebanon.
