Israeli Army Discovers Hezbollah Tunnel from Lebanon
The Israeli army has announced the discovery of a tunnel extending approximately 10 meters from Lebanon into Israeli territory, specifically near Moshav Zar'it in the Western Galilee. The tunnel, identified as being linked to Hezbollah, was located in the Marouhin area of the Tyre district in southern Lebanon. According to the Israeli military, this tunnel does not have an exit opening in Israel, and it was under operational control until Israeli forces intervened. The army emphasized that, as of now, they are not aware of any additional tunnels crossing from Lebanon into Israel and are actively combing the border area for further threats.
Ongoing Conflict and Military Operations
The discovery of the tunnel comes amidst a broader military campaign by the Israeli army against Hezbollah, which has intensified since September 23. Israeli forces have been conducting extensive air strikes across southern Lebanon, including in the capital, Beirut, and have initiated ground operations in the region. The Israeli military claims these actions aim to weaken Hezbollah's capabilities and ensure the safety of residents in northern Israel. In response, Hezbollah has been launching missiles and artillery attacks targeting Israeli military sites, resulting in ongoing escalations in the conflict.
International Reactions and Consequences
The situation has drawn international concern, with warnings issued regarding the escalating violence and its implications for regional stability. The Israeli military's operations have raised questions about compliance with international laws and UN resolutions, as the conflict continues to affect civilians on both sides. As the situation develops, the Israeli army maintains a strict information blackout on its losses, complicating the understanding of the conflict's full impact.
