In the one-minute clip, the Israeli troop was seen showing a “hundred-metre” tunnel in south Lebanon, which houses “functioning” rooms, AK-47 rifles, a bedroom, a bathroom, storage room of generators, water tanks and two-wheelers. The tunnel, that may have taken “years to build”, opens with an iron door, and ends up in a Lebanese civilian house, said the Israeli soldier. Israel Hezbollah war IDF shares video
‘Nothing like we saw in Gaza’
“Radwan terrorists could stay here for weeks,” the Israeli military personnel said, adding that it was “nothing like the tunnels we(IDF) saw in Gaza.”
IDF’s latest video is not the first in recent times. In September, the Israeli forces had released another video of a tunnel, where the IDF claimed that six hostages were held and killed by Hamas. Iron doors, blood stains, bullets and chess sets were seen on the ground of the tunnel.
IDF finds shafts under homes
Since launching a cross-border ground assault into Lebanon in September, the Israeli military said it has found multiple tunnel shafts under homes, with one crossing into Israel, stated a report by Wall Street Journal.
On October 15, the IDF said it said its troops in south Lebanon had captured three Hezbollah fighters. “An underground shaft was located inside a building used by Hezbollah. The forces surrounded the building, where three terrorists of the Radwan Force were entrenched,” the military said in a statement, according to an Al Arabiya News report.
On Tuesday, the IDF shared another video on X, showing that weapons had been found in a residence in Southern Lebanon.
