...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade....
on Sunday evening, including against a tunnel between Lebanon and Syria used by the Hezbollah terror group to smuggle arms, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The IDF said the tunnel, in the Beqaa Valley, had also been struck in the past. "The IDF is determined to prevent restoration and use of this tunnel," it said in a statement.

The Beqaa Valley area, a Hezbollah stronghold, is north of the Litani River, beyond which the Iran-backed group is required to withdraw under the ceasefire agreement reached in November 2024 after more than a year of hostilities, including two months of all-out war.

Additionally, the military said Sunday the Israeli Air Force targeted several Hezbollah sites in other areas of Lebanon, which included weapons and rocket launchers that "posed an immediate threat" to Israel.

According to the IDF, the targeted sites were "a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon."

Lebanese media reported a series of strikes in the Nabatieh area, some 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with Israel, and in the Baalbek area in the Beqaa Valley, nearly 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Israel.

The strikes came a day after the IAF struck what the IDF said were Hezbollah operatives at a weapons manufacturing site in eastern Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley on Saturday. Lebanon’s state news agency reported six dead and two maimed in that strike.

#2  Presumably, Israel is watching the hard rock mining companies that are doing all this tunneling. Drill, blast, load, haul, dump, shotcrete, ventilation, power… it’s not concealable.

#1  Lebanon’s state news agency reported six dead and two maimed in that strike.

Hopefully, the (relatively rare) technicians rather than regular (dime a dozen) terrorists.
