The Israeli military said on Sunday that its forces had demolished an underground tunnel in southern Lebanon. The structure measured thirty-five metres in length and sat in the town of Majdal Zoun.
Troops from the Baram Regional Brigade discovered the passage during operations in the sector. The military stated in an announcement that the tunnel contained two rooms used as living quarters by Hezbollah operatives.
Combat engineers from the Yahalom unit inspected the structure before carrying out the demolition. The military also released video footage documenting the destruction.
Operations continued elsewhere in the southern region on Sunday. Lebanese state media reported that Israeli fighter jets struck the outskirts of Al-Qantara and Kfar Tebnit in the Nabatiyeh district.
Warplanes flew at low altitudes over the city of Tyre and surrounding towns. Lebanon’s National News Agency documented these flights alongside the airstrikes.
The military actions occurred despite a US-brokered framework agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel in June. That deal established security arrangements for a phased deployment of Lebanese troops and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.
The agreement also provided for reconstruction and economic recovery. Implementation has faced obstacles, however, including Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm, which Israel has set as a condition to withdraw from occupied territory in Lebanon.
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon stated on November eleven that it continued to monitor daily Israeli violations in the south. The peacekeeping mission noted that these violations persisted despite a general decline in fighting intensity since the June ceasefire.
Reported violations included the establishment of military positions and roads, as well as military operations, explosions, airstrikes and artillery fire. The peacekeeping force continues its monitoring duties across the southern sector.
