Inside Lebanese territory, the Israeli army identified two hidden Hezbollah tunnels under iron plates, reports the special envoy of the Figaro. The IDF discovered communications equipment and anti-tank missiles there. From this area, the Shiite movement could fire munitions and target Israeli villages across the border.
Israel announced that it had found 700 such places within a one square kilometer area. The tunnel is located under a tower of UNIFIL, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon. According to the IDF, the tunnel was dug by Hezbollah without any reaction from the peacekeepers. The network has been developed over several decades.

Israel, which is continuing its ground offensive in southern Lebanon launched at the end of September, aims to destroy this gigantic military network.
