Beneath a quiet village in southern Lebanon, Israel claims it uncovered a hidden underground world. A tunnel network stretching hundreds of metres, drone launch routes, weapons storage, living quarters, and what the I.D.F. describes as Hezbollah’s secret underground “airport.” According to Israeli reports, the 551st Brigade captured Majdal Zoun, a village that Israel says served as a major Hezbollah stronghold and an operational centre for the elite Radwan Force. The I.D.F. claims apartments overlooking the region were converted into drone launch positions, while troops discovered anti-tank weapons, military equipment, and a vast tunnel system beneath the area. Israeli officials allege the underground complex had four entrances, multiple drone launch routes, and infrastructure built with Iranian funding and military standards. The military also claims the drones stored there could travel up to 250 kilometres and carry 30-kilogram warheads. The revelations come at a highly sensitive moment, with regional powers attempting to preserve a fragile ceasefire in Lebanon. Is this discovery evidence of years of Hezbollah’s hidden military preparation, or another chapter in the ongoing information war surrounding the Israel-Lebanon conflict?
