Hezbollah shows off its tunnels, claims it is prepared for war with Israel [Psalms 83]

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..."

if even one Israeli is murdered because of one of these tunnels, Israel should see that the POS that wrote the story never draws another breath...

"Hopefully, Israel has a large number of ground penetrating thermobaric weapons."

Those weapons were devastating to the Shire.

Lots of cool pictures from Russian Fort Zverev that show what happens with thermobaric weapons in caves. It was hot enough to melt the red brick in the ceiling, which then formed icicles.
