Israel Defense Forces troops operating in the Mount Dov area of Southern Lebanon located and dismantled a Hezbollah tunnel roughly 100 meters long with four hideout rooms, the military said on Sunday.

The IDF noted that troops are operating in the area in accordance with ceasefire understandings.

“The IDF will continue to operate against threats posed to Israeli civilians and IDF troops and is acting in accordance with the directives of the political echelon,” the military said.

“These maniacs are on the ropes, and these historic measures will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide,” said the U.S. president.
The Israeli premier warned Ankara against military entrenchment south of Aleppo following an attack on the Abu al-Duhur airbase early Tuesday morning.
