The Israeli military said it destroyed a Hezbollah tunnel network in the Beaufort area of southern Lebanon during an overnight operation. According to the IDF, the site was part of an underground Hezbollah stronghold and had been developed over roughly two decades.
Israeli officials described the complex as an Iran-backed project tied to Hezbollah's military infrastructure in Lebanon. The announcement framed the operation as a move against a long-standing subterranean network that the military says had strategic value for the group.
The reported destruction of the tunnels adds to continuing security tensions along Israel's northern frontier, where Hezbollah's capabilities remain a central concern for Israeli defense planners. The Beaufort area has long been viewed as a sensitive zone because of its terrain and proximity to the border.
The update from Lebanon came as separate regional developments kept attention on Gaza, including Hamas signaling that disarmament would not come before an Israeli withdrawal from the Strip, and reports of a proposed Gaza disarmament arrangement alongside discussion of a new Palestinian government.
