Middle East: Israel: Hezbollah underground base in southern Lebanon destroyed
Israel destroys Hezbollah's underground infrastructure. Dozens of rockets and drones were discovered.
The Israeli army has destroyed underground positions of the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, stating it completes the consolidation of a security zone in southern Lebanon. The army said it had destroyed the militia's underground infrastructure, including a command centre, weapon depots, and living quarters, after taking control of a strategic hilltop area called Ali al-Taher a week ago.
The infrastructure, built with Iranian funding over two decades, allowed Hezbollah to plan and carry out attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers. Israeli soldiers will remain in the area to prevent enemy forces from returning.
