Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said the Israel Defense Forces destroyed terror tunnels in the Beaufort area of southern Lebanon. The announcement was issued by the Prime Minister's Office as a joint government statement.
According to the statement, the tunnels were part of an underground infrastructure in the Beaufort area. Israeli officials described that network as a significant component of Hezbollah-linked activity in southern Lebanon.
The update presented the demolition as an operation carried out under the direction of Netanyahu and Katz. Israeli authorities said the action was intended to remove a subterranean threat near the border and to damage infrastructure they consider part of a broader militant system.
The brief statement did not provide extensive operational detail in the trimmed release, but it underscored Israel's continued focus on underground targets in southern Lebanon. The announcement places Beaufort at the center of Israel's latest publicized security move involving Hezbollah-related infrastructure.
