Israel Says It Dismantled Hezbollah Underground Complex Beneath Majdal Zoun

Overview

• The Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday that specialized units located and destroyed a more than 200‑metre tunnel complex under the village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon.
• The IDF described the system as 25–29 metres deep with four launch shafts, 12 chambers and more than 50 linked military sites that were dismantled or neutralized.
• Israeli forces said the operation was led by the 551st Brigade and 91st Division with Yahalom tunnel engineers and that it killed more than 20 Hezbollah fighters including members of the Radwan elite unit.
• Soldiers displayed roughly 50 armed drones, some described as Iranian‑designed and recovered intact, plus about eight tonnes of explosives and assorted antitank weapons, which Israel says offer important technical intelligence.
• Israeli claims that the complex was built with Iranian support have heightened diplomatic friction, influenced US–Iran talks after President Trump’s comments, and raised legal and humanitarian concerns about placing military infrastructure beneath civilian areas.
