Israel Targets Hezbollah Tunnel Network in Southern Lebanon

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the destruction of the site, which served as a critical node for militant operations. The strike was calibrated to degrade Hezbollah’s ability to maneuver near the frontier, a move that follows months of mounting friction between the two sides.

Washington received advanced notification of the strike, signaling consistent tactical alignment between the Israeli military and its American counterparts. This destruction of the Majdal Zoun tunnel serves as a tangible measure of Israel's current strategy to systematically dismantle hidden military assets that threaten its northern territories.
