HIZBOLLAH'S "INNOCENCE" What appears on the surface to be an ordinary village in southern Lebanon was exposed by YALOM and the 551st Brigade as a veritable terrorist stronghold – an underground tunnel approximately 200 meters long, in which 20 militants were awaiting orders and subsequently eliminated. As you read these lines, YALOM and the 551st Brigade fighters are already operating in the area of the gigantic tunnel discovered beneath Majdal Zun. Now, the launch silos, living quarters, drone "airport," and dozens of explosive devices that Hezbollah tried to hide in the "civilian" village – and failed – are no longer hidden from view. The history of this tunnel did not begin today. Back in 2024, the Air Force struck this infrastructure, partially blocking it. However, Hezbollah, as in other areas of southern Lebanon, attempted to rebuild this strategic site undetected, in order to continue threatening settlements in northern Israel and the Israeli coast. This time, an air strike was not enough. YALOM units, operating under the command of the 551st Brigade of the 91st Division, entered the village and reached terrorist infrastructure built both above ground—weapons depots and observation posts—and approximately 25 meters underground. There, they discovered an underground tunnel approximately 200 meters long with four launch silos and twelve rooms for housing and storing explosive devices, anti-tank missiles, and drones. More than 20 Hezbollah militants were killed throughout the area, ten of whom belonged to the Radwan unit. But even these numbers don't fully capture the situation in Majdal Zun. Above the tunnel lies a village. Nearby are civilian buildings, a mosque, and a school. Beneath them lies the operational infrastructure that was intended to allow Hezbollah to assemble, store, and launch drones from the very heart of the civilian environment. This is precisely their tactic: hiding behind the lives of civilians while simultaneously turning them into a shield for an entire terrorist network. "We weren't surprised by the existence of this infrastructure," emphasizes Lieutenant Colonel D., commander of the S-2 unit of YALOM. "What's truly surprising is the scale, the resources invested, and the quantity of weapons we discovered—we've rarely encountered such quantities." In addition to the buildings and weapons, dozens of disassembled drones, spare parts, and clear evidence of a clandestine assembly workshop were discovered deep underground. "We found more than 50 drones and over 8 tons of other weapons here—mostly explosive devices and weapons," he says. "You can see models with a wingspan of about 2.5 meters here." They were delivered disassembled, assembled, and launched directly from here." In other words, the fighters discovered what could be called a "drone airport" that Hezbollah had attempted to conceal beneath a civilian village. "These drones are capable of operating at ranges of 200 to 500 kilometers," explains the unit commander. "This means they threatened not only the north of the country, but also most of the coastline of the State of Israel. We came here specifically to deprive Hezbollah of these capabilities." Some of the discovered weapons, unsurprisingly, were supplied with Iranian funding: "The weapons here are the same as those used by all proxy forces—from Hezbollah to the Houthis in Yemen. They are of great importance, and it's important that they don't fall into enemy hands." But the story doesn't end underground; it continues above ground. "We've been in western Lebanon for several months now, and for the last few weeks, we've been here in this village," says Senior Sergeant M., a member of the 551st Brigade. "We knew the enemy was here, but we didn't realize how deeply entrenched they were. Almost every house contains weapons and serious combat equipment." ___________ Be the first to know the news Alexey Zheleznov
