Dramatic video footage has emerged showing a series of massive explosions rocking southern Lebanon, following what the Israeli military described as precision strikes on a Hezbollah tunnel network. The blasts sent plumes of smoke and debris high into the air, marking one of the most visible escalations in the region in recent weeks.
Israeli officials confirmed that the operation was aimed at destroying underground infrastructure used by the militant group to launch attacks. The strikes come amid heightened tensions along the border, with both sides exchanging fire periodically since October.
Local Lebanese media reported that the explosions caused extensive damage in the targeted area, though no civilian casualties have been confirmed. Hezbollah has not yet issued an official response regarding the extent of damage to its military assets.
The Israeli Defense Forces stated that the operation was carefully planned to minimize harm to non-combatants, emphasizing that the tunnels were a direct threat to Israeli communities in the north.
