A rare glimpse into Hezbollah's underground tunnels was provided on Friday by Lebanese publication As-Safir, which is associated with the militant organization.
The report praised Hezbollah's activities and painted it as a strong army ready for battle. While it is difficult to verify the claims in the article, it contained a rare discussion of the tunnels by Hezbollah members.
The reporter wrote that in order to meet Hezbollah fighters near the Israeli border in southern Lebanon, he travelled from the city of Tyre and was required to stop at a house known to locals as a Hezbollah headquarters, where he changed into a military uniform to blend in to his surroundings and to confound Israeli drones.
The report described Hezbollah's observations unit on the border, claiming it has been upgraded and is waiting for battle. The tunnels were discussed several times, but not as an offensive tactic to infiltrate Israel, like the ones used by Hamas during Operation Protective Edge – a greatly concerning prospect for residents in the north. Instead, the tunnels were described as a means to launch rockets from Lebanese territory.
The report claimed that Hezbollah has upgraded its tunnels and that they are located at sensitive spots near the border. "It is true that the enemy discovered the ramifications of the tunnel technology in the Second Lebanon War, but the tactic has developed since then," said the newspaper.
"The type of concrete has changed, the ventilation system is different, and the methods for customizing weapons and food have changed. Electricity is provided to tunnels 24 hours a day with the use of generators set up underground..."

The United States' feckless Middle East policy is emboldening Nasrallah, Hamas, and the other Islamists. The Russian/Iranian intrusion into Middle East politics seems to be a contributing factor as well. The stage is being set for a major Middle East war between Israel and its neighbors. In Psalms 83, the Psalmist prophesied of a future war in which all the nations around Israel would united in a surprise attack. The results will be disastrous for those nations with Damascus and Amman Jordan being reduced to rubble.
The following Bible chapters are among the scriptures that discuss what will happen in this conflict:
1. Psalms 83
2. Isaiah 17
3. Jeremiah 48-49
4. Zephaniah 2
5. Zechariah 9
6. Zechariah 12
7. Isaiah 15-19
Psa 83:4
They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psa 83:5
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
Psa 83:6
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psa 83:7
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psa 83:8
Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Psa 83:9
Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Psa 83:10
Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
Psa 83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Psa 83:12
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
Psa 83:13
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
Psa 83:14
As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Psa 83:15
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Psa 83:16
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Psa 83:17
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Psa 83:18
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
if they put half the effort that they are doing with this into building a nice life for themselves on the land they have they would be much better off. How disgusting it is to teach hate to children.I taught my nephews and nieces that America was great and there were those that would wish to do us harm but I never taught him to hate. Generation after generation wasted.they are suckers for other Arab countries and just like blacks are suckers for the Democratic Party. neither group really cares about them and it just uses them. I have faith that Israel can defend itself quite well
Wonder if any of that makes it into Israel? Nah, could never happen.
Wonder how hard it is to insert a CO2 line and make a tunnel inhabitable?
It only happened a couple times in the Bible, but you can see in these “hate cultures” of 4 year old kids playing soccer with severed heads, why the God of the Bible told the Israelites to exterminate certain nations.
Incredible!? An American administration working with the sworn enemies of Israel. I hate to say this, but I think Judgment is coming on our nation in a spectacular way...(Zech 12)
they really do that? Good God in heaven! What do you do with kids like that?somehow we were able to turn the minds of young Germans and Japanese at the end of World War 2 but those were different types of cultures. Israel would literally I have to take over And reeducate them. I don’t know.
Hopefully, Israel has a large number of ground penetrating thermobaric weapons.

Tunnels become far less enjoyable when they first go from 1 to 10 atmospheres in a second or two, followed by becoming very hot, say 1,000F for a minute or so.
Well, they claim to be providing electricity to the tunnels 24/7 with underground generators. It seems to me that CO might be the better choice. Just a bit of tinkering with the exhaust system and you don't even need to bring the gas in as it's already there...

Japanese and Germans were civilized and industrious before the madness of militarism. The trip back to sanity was short, with the Cold War looming. Muslims, not so much.
excellent point. for Muslims it is a long long ride back to civility.
Yes
CO= carbon monoxide
CO2= carbon dioxide
In my opinion there is nothing American about the current regime in control of the American government.

At least the NAZIs had a Christian heritage...Islam is a death cult that encourages smiling heads off all enemies of Islam
To Mohammed, civilization is for the weak. War and Booty are for the strong.
