The IDF has destroyed terror tunnels in the Beaufort area of southern Lebanon using approximately 700 tons of explosives, according to a joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz.
According to the statement, the underground infrastructure was a central part of the terrorist organization Hezbollah's plan to invade Galilee communities. The operation was carried out as part of the IDF's systematic efforts to dismantle Hezbollah's terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
The destruction of the tunnels followed a violation of the ceasefire agreement by Hezbollah. The statement emphasized that the State of Israel will not tolerate violations of the agreement and that any attempt by the organization to harm IDF forces or Israeli citizens will be met with a harsh and powerful response.
It was further noted that the IDF will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon and continue to destroy terror infrastructure to prevent Hezbollah from restoring its capabilities.
