And what was found inside?
• Hundreds of weapons:
• Machine guns

This is what was sitting just across the border.

🇮🇱‼️ IDF DESTROYS MAJOR HEZBOLLAH TUNNEL NETWORK BUILT WITH IRANIAN BACKING

The IDF says it uncovered and demolished two massive Hezbollah terrorists attack tunnels in southern Lebanon, built with “direct guidance” from Iran over more than a decade.

Stretching ~2 km and reaching depths of 25 meters, the tunnels were part of a broader invasion plan to stage hundreds of operatives for attacks on northern Israel. One tunnel included 10 rooms with bunk beds and rocket-launch shafts aimed at Israeli territory.

The military says the tunnels were built “to Iranian standards” and funded by the Iranian regime. They were destroyed using 450 tons of explosives.

The Times of Israel explains:
Underground systems in Qantara, spanning 2 km and reaching depths of 25 meters, are demolished with 450 tons of explosives; terror group continues drone attacks on troops

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday announced it had located and destroyed two major Hezbollah tunnels in the southern Leb

town of Qantara, which it said were constructed by the terror group with "direct guidance" from Iran.

The tunnels were built over a decade, reaching depths of some 25 meters, and were "funded by the Iranian terror regime and as part of Hezbollah’s plan to conquer the Galilee," according to the military.

The two tunnels — located near each other but not connected — spanned a total of some two kilometers in length, making it one of the longest underground systems found by the military in southern Lebanon to date.

The IDF said the tunnels were part of a larger underground network located in the towns of Rab al-Thalathin and Mays al-Jabal during the fighting in 2024.

The IDF believed the underground sites were intended by Hezbollah for use as a staging ground, where hundreds of terror operatives would arrive when called, gather equipment, and ready themselves to attack Israeli towns. Hezbollah’s invasion plans never materialized.

"One of the tunnels was recently used by operatives of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel and its citizens, thereby posing a direct threat to Israeli civilians and IDF troops," the military said.

Troops of the 36th Division raided Qantara, some 10 kilometers from Israel’s border, during the current offensive against Hezbollah, following "precise intelligence" of the tunnel systems, the military said. The entrances to the tunnels were relatively hidden.

Inside the tunnels, the IDF said troops located numerous weapons and equipment that Hezbollah operatives could use to reside in the tunnels for long periods. One of the tunnels featured some 10 rooms, each with several bunk beds.

In total, the tunnels featured some 30 rooms and 30 separate shafts, including some with rocket launchers in them aimed at Israel, according to the military.

According to military officials, the tunnels were built "to Iranian standards," and Iran

was directly involved in the planning and funding of the underground systems.

On Tuesday afternoon, using 450 tons of explosives, the military said it blew up the tunnels.

Large explosions were heard across the area, and the Geological Survey of Israel said the massive controlled blasts were picked up by the seismic warning system. However,

no earthquake sirens were activated. The military told residents earlier it would ensure that the controlled blast would not set off the earthquake sirens, which has happened in the past.

Hezbollah continued its attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire. The IDF said that troops were targeted several times with explosive-laden drones, which went kaboom! near the forces but did not cause any injuries.

Hezbollah claimed to have targeted Israeli forces in Qantara, where the major tunnels were razed.
