MAJDAL ZOUN, Lebanon — Buried beneath a hilltop village in southern Lebanon, just kilometers from the Israeli border, the Hezbollah terror group built an underground drone “airbase” from which it launched Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles at Israel.
The subterranean facility, guarded by massive steel blast doors, was built in the past decade with direct Iranian assistance, including planning and funding, Israeli military officials told The Times of Israel during an organized media tour of the site last week.
Journalists were brought into Lebanon at dusk, so that the visit to the tunnel would take place under the cover of darkness — an attempt by the military to mitigate the possibility of Hezbollah attacks on members of the press.
As the sun set over the Mediterranean, reporters were driven in a convoy of Humvees along the Lebanese coast before heading east toward Majdal Zoun, some six kilometers (10 miles) from the Israeli frontier.
With just the moonlight and glowsticks to illuminate the way, soldiers led the group to the tunnel’s main entrance, which was accessible from the ground level on the north side of the mountain.
The tunnel and surrounding area, which was delineated as part of the southern Lebanon security zone buffer area in an updated IDF map Thursday, were captured this month by a reservist commando and paratroopers formation.
The operation took place amid a porous ceasefire in which both Israel and Hezbollah have continued to attack each other.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the tunnel runs several hundred meters into the mountain, reaching depths of 29 meters (95 feet) under Majdal Zoun — including beneath a mosque.

“IDF captures Hezbollah drone factory and launch site hidden inside south Lebanon mountain”. The Jews are getting frisky.
Obviously, Bebe hasn’t gotten Trump’s latest memo. I expect a sour-worded post pretty soon.
Noooo. Really? Want to hear a story about a religion of peace converting by the sword?
If "frisky" means that the Israelis will actively fight against those who want to annihilate them, then get even friskier, I say! Wipe out Hezbollah.
If Mexican cartels were lobbing drones and missiles into the U.S., I'd expect our government to eradicate the cartels and if the Mexican government impeded the effort, I'd want to replace that government using military force if necessary.
After full documentation, collapse the tunnels. You don’t want to keep troops present to prevent Hezbollah from re-using the site.
I don’t know why folks get up in arms about what Trump says.......watch what he does. What he says is usually a smoke screen and irrelevant. The media hates him anyway so just feed them scraps.
He might publicly question Israel.....yet the IDF keeps doing God’s work.
As long as Trump doesn’t impede Israel from defending itself, I can tolerate his words, discouraging though they may be regarding this phony Iran deal.
Good job!
Underground drone maker. Next Bond flick?
Instead of drones and missiles, the Mexican cartels are lobbing opium, fentanyl, and other deadly narcotics into the U.S., and yet the cartels and complicit Mexican government officials continue to exist.
“some six kilometers (10 miles) from the Israeli frontier...”
WTH?!?! Journalist’s are morons.
HA! I just opened the article and that has been corrected to 3.7 miles.
Well said.
