Troops of the 769th “Hiram” Regional Brigade in recent weeks raided several Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon to demolish them.
The sites were to be used by Hezbollah for a planned invasion of Israel, according to the IDF.
The tunnel, first raided by the Air Force’s elite Shaldag Unit, was located in “the heart of a civilian neighborhood” in southern Lebanon, the IDF says.
It was used by Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force as a weapons depot. Inside the soldiers found numerous weapons and other equipment, according to the military.
The tunnel was recently demolished by combat engineers. In separate operations, the IDF says the 769th Brigade and combat engineers demolished several buildings used by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, including a hotel.
IDF says it hit Hamas command center in former Gaza school; Palestinians say 17 killed
The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a group of Hamas operatives operating out of a former school in the central Gaza Strip a short while ago.
According to the military, Hamas was using the “Martyrs School” in Nuseirat to plan and carry out attacks against IDF troops and Israel.
The school has been serving as a shelter for displaced Gazans. Hamas-run rescue services report at least 17 dead and 42 wounded in the strike.
The IDF says it took steps to mitigate civilian harm in the strike and accuses Hamas of “systematically” using civilian sites for terror.
In recent months, dozens of airstrikes have been carried out against Hamas sites embedded within schools and other sites used as shelters for civilians, according to the IDF.
