IDF Troops operating in the area of Majdal Zoun, located within the Security Zone, found two underground routes and a cache of weapons.

Hezbollah's Use of Civilian Villages for Terror

Findings from the activity indicate that the area was heavily fortified and contained extensive terrorist infrastructure.

This goes in line with Hezbollah's approach of using civilian villages in southern Lebanon as cover and shield for its terror. It is also not the first tunnel found in the area of Majdal Zoun.

What Troops Found Underground

The two tunnel routes had a combined length of approximately 200 meters and reached a depth of roughly 20 meters. Inside the tunnels, troops discovered:

• Living quarters
• Three launch shafts aimed toward Israel
• Dozens of weapons

Additionally, troops located a cache of weapons including mortars, launchers, and RPG rockets in the area, and eliminated an armed terrorist near one of the tunnel routes.

The IDF will continue to operate in order to remove Hezbollah's threat from its civilians.
