Israeli forces operating beneath the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon have uncovered maps inside Hezbollah tunnels that illustrate the terror group's plans targeting northern Israeli communities. The IDF says the underground network was built with support and funding from Iran and is continuing efforts to dismantle the infrastructure.
The IDF announced that forces from the 36th Division are continuing operations to locate and destroy Hezbollah's underground tunnel infrastructure beneath the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon.
According to the military, the tunnel system was planned and financed by the Iranian regime as part of Hezbollah's long-term military buildup along Israel's northern border.
During operations inside one of the underground tunnels, Israeli forces discovered maps displayed on a wall that highlighted the area's strategic oversight of nearby Israeli communities in the north.
The tunnel had recently been targeted after Hezbollah terrorists attempted to flee the area and were struck in an Israeli Air Force operation.
The maps provide additional evidence of the threat posed by Hezbollah's extensive underground network and its proximity to Israeli civilian population centers.
Israeli officials have repeatedly warned that Hezbollah's military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, supported by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was designed to facilitate attacks against Israel and threaten communities near the border.
The IDF says operations will continue until the underground terror infrastructure is neutralized and the threat to northern Israel is removed.
