While regular IDF brigades like Golani and the Paratroopers fight in southern Lebanon border villages, reserve brigades are tasked with deeper missions as part of Israel’s ground operation to eliminate Hezbollah's Radwan Force threat to the Galilee. Now in its third week, the mission focuses on clearing the border region of this invasion threat...
On Monday, the 8th Armored Brigade uncovered Hezbollah’s largest combat tunnel found by the IDF in Lebanon. Located on the outskirts of a major village in the eastern sector, the tunnel was designed to launch hundreds of Radwan fighters toward Kiryat Shmona.
The concealed underground complex, stretching about 800 meters (0.5 miles), included sleeping quarters for long-term stays, designed to withstand airstrikes. It featured a fully equipped kitchen, showers, motorcycles, off-road vehicles and hundreds of advanced weapons, including Kornet anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft systems and personal firearms.
Fresh food indicated that Radwan operatives had been present until recently. Soldiers identified a terrorist attempting to exit one of the shafts through a nearby apartment and eliminated him from the air.
The discovery of this large underground base was attributed to ground searches conducted by soldiers rather than specific intelligence. The tunnel was demolished within three days of its discovery, a result of lessons learned from the fighting in Gaza. At the start of the ground incursion against Hamas, it took Israeli forces weeks to inspect and destroy tunnels due to fears of booby traps and ambushes.

Targeted for capture? Why not just KILL them?
Marble walz and granite counter-tops?

In its favor, it was a rent controlled unit.
I really hope Netanyahu was on his phone with Biden and Harris to get their approval of the raid. They want him to give peace a chance.
Probably gifts from France.
Intel.
I like the idea. Then, when all the rest of the Hizzies have been ex’d, take the captured ones and behead them, somewhere nice, like some smoldering ruins in Iran.
Any place any of these tunnels exit up into should be razed to the ground. No matter where or how large or who occupies the building. If there is an exit/entrance, the people around it are complicit and just as guilty as the terrorists who built the tunnels.
