IDF takes over tunnel under Lebanese village meant for elite Hezbollah forces

 

IDF forces from the 8th Reserve Brigade, operating on the eastern side of southern Lebanon, have taken over an underground complex belonging to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force, the IDF says, Paralel.Az reports citing Times of Israel.

The complex, which includes 800 meters of tunnels, is situated under a civilian village, says the army. The tunnels include a bedroom and a fully stocked kitchen.

According to IDF spokesman Brig. Gen. Daniel Hagari, the complex was designed for a Radwan battalion to arrive, suit up, then head into Israel on foot and on motorbikes.

IDF forces captured the complex late last week and found anti-helicopter missiles, mortar shells, rifles and other munitions.

One of the operatives was holed up in the bunker, and was killed by the Air Force.
