The IDF located an underground terror tunnel containing hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts aimed at Israel - under the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon.

This method of operation is not new and is characteristic of Hezbollah, which has consistently been exposed for embedding its terrorist infrastructure in the heart of civilian communities. The village had been fortified and filled with terrorist infrastructure, including a significant underground terror tunnel.

Attached is an illustration showing the location of the tunnel:
