Israeli forces have expelled Hezbollah fighters from a network of strategic tunnels beneath a key mountain range in southern Lebanon, according to reports. The operation, part of a broader military campaign, targets Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, which has been used to coordinate attacks. The tunnels, located near the border, were previously linked to Iranian-backed operations, raising concerns about regional security.
The Israeli military claims the tunnels served as a command center for Hezbollah, enabling attacks on Israeli territory. Local media and officials report that the operation disrupted Hezbollah's ability to launch coordinated strikes. Meanwhile, Hezbollah has accused Israel of using the prisoner release as a cover for continued military actions.
The conflict has displaced thousands of civilians, with many children still unable to return to their homes. Humanitarian groups warn of worsening conditions in the region. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities.
International observers continue to monitor the developments, with calls for de-escalation and dialogue. The outcome of this operation could significantly alter the balance of power in the region.
