IDF destroys large Hezbollah tunnel, triggering earthquake alerts in Israel
tunnel filled with weapons and supplies near the border, with the blast so powerful that it triggered earthquake alarms on Saturday.that was being prepped for Hezbollah ’s elite Radwan forces to one day invade Israel in an attack similar to the Oct. 7 massacre.The soldiers also found a massive stash of food, including canned goods, chocolates and even pickled olives — with enough goodies to feed more than 100 fighters, the IDF said.
Officials said they discovered the tunnel during a 48-hour operation in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces battled with Hezbollah fighters stationed near the tunnel system. After killing off the terrorists – along with four other Hezbollah operatives at a nearby, smaller tunnel – the soldiers made their way inside the 1.2 mile-long underground base.The IDF located a weapons and food cache inside the tunnel prepped for at least 100 of Hezbollah’s elite fighters.The tunnel was filled with Hezbollah’s booby traps and mines, with IDF troops successfully clearing them out so its forces could investigate.
The IDF then lined the tunnel system with about 400 tons of explosives and blew it up on Saturday, with the force so great that false-earthquake alarms were set off across northern Israel.Along with the tunnel destroyed on Saturday, the IDF has allegedly flagged at least three Hezbollah tunnels that were being prepped for the terror group’s alleged “Conquer the Galilee” operation, which Israel said involved an invasion over the border.
