In a joint statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said Sunday that the IDF is striking in southern Lebanon.
“As part of Operation Closing Verse, the IDF has now destroyed the underground terror infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the area of the village of Majdal Zun in southern Lebanon,” Netanyahu said in the statement, which was also posted to his office’s official X account.
“The tunnel, which is over 200 meters long and more than 25 meters deep, contained hundreds of weapons and several launch silos intended to strike the territory of the State of Israel and its citizens. Israel informed the United States and the American representative in Lebanon in advance of the destruction of the infrastructure,” the post further said.
“IDF commanders and fighters will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon and will continue to destroy terrorist infrastructure, remove threats from northern communities, and maintain the security of Israeli citizens,” the post concluded.
