The tunnel, which ran some 200 meters (some 656 feet) and reached depths of over 25 meters (82 feet) under the village, was used by Hezbollah to assemble, store, and launch Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles, according to the military.

IDF has blown up major Hezbollah tunnel, Netanyahu and Katz announce
[IsraelTimes] The IDF demolished a large Hezbollah underground facility in the southern Lebanon village of Majdal Zoun a short while ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announce.
The tunnel, which ran some 200 meters and reached depths of over 25 meters under the village, was used by Hezbollah to assemble, store and launch Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles, according to the military.
Journalists were given a tour of the tunnel earlier this month.
In a statement, Netanyahu and Katz say that Israel updated the US and the American representative in Lebanon ahead of the tunnel’s demolition.
The IDF has not yet issued a statement on the demolition, but it warned residents of northern Israel earlier that a large explosion would be heard.
The IDF had previously postponed the tunnel’s demolition amid pressure by the US on Israel to halt all military activity in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire.
North residents warned loud explosion will be heard tonight, as IDF razes Hezbollah infrastructure
[IsraelTimes] Residents of the Western Galilee have been warned by local authorities that an explosion will be heard as the military is set to demolish a large Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon this evening.
“In the next few hours, a high-intensity explosion will occur,” a statement from the Upper Galilee Regional Council reads.
The blast may trigger earthquake warnings on systems that are not connected to the IDF Home Front Command. The military is set to ensure that the explosion does not trigger its earthquake warning system, as it has done in the past for other Hezbollah tunnels that were blown up.

Hezbollah UAV Launch Tunnel Discovered Beneath Civilian Homes in Southern Lebanon
A Hezbollah UAV launch tunnel, approximately 200 meters long and equipped with four launch shafts, was discovered several days ago beneath civilian homes in the village of Majdal Zoun in the western sector of southern Lebanon, about 8 kilometers from the Israeli border.
Among the items found inside the tunnel were approximately 50 loitering munitions, which we assess to be *Ababil-T* drones, with a range of up to 120 kilometers and the capability to carry tens of kilograms of explosives.
Hezbollah is waiting for the opportunity to return to southern Lebanon in order to rebuild its military terrorist infrastructure and once again threaten Israel.
