IDF continues to operate in southern Lebanon

On Saturday, IDF confirmed it had dismantled a 100-meter-long underground tunnel that hid the entrance to a Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist hideout in southern Lebanon. 

The tunnel was discovered during operational activities by the 300th Brigade under the command of the 146th Division and was destroyed in cooperation with the engineering forces.

The IDF is continuing to operate against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon amid the ceasefire that was enacted in late November.
