The IDF uncovered on Tuesday a Hezbollah tunnel crossing into Israel from Lebanon, the military said, adding it had been "neutralized" by troops. 

The tunnel, discovered a few months ago, with no aperture at its end, crossed ten meters into Israeli territory from Marwahin in southern Lebanon, the military noted.

The military added the tunnel had been unearthed during an IDF operation to destroy terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon
