The Israeli military removed two tunnels, each about 2 kilometers long, near Qantara, 10 kilometers from Israel’s border, over several weeks.
The tunnels, built with Iranian assistance, contained ten sleeping quarters, weapons caches, and rocket launchers aimed at Israel, and were connected to surface positions.
Israel previously dismantled parts of this network in Maroun el-Ras and Mays al-Jabal in 2024, and recent clashes with Hezbollah have included drone attacks and shelling despite an extended cease-fire.
