Israel’s army detonates an extensive tunnel in southern Lebanon built by Hezbollah, according to statements by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday. Lebanese state media report that Israeli strikes hit the area, including around Nabatieh, and mention additional incidents such as an Israeli stun grenade. Hezbollah, described as an Iran-backed group, says it reserves the right to respond to the attacks.
The reported operations take place despite a trilateral framework agreement signed by Lebanon and Israel under US sponsorship on Friday. Both governments frame the initiative as a step toward peace and as a mechanism that includes disarming Hezbollah.
Across the sources, the main points are that Israel carries out a tunnel-destruction operation in southern Lebanon, that Lebanese media report concurrent strikes and limited reported injuries, and that Hezbollah signals a willingness to respond. The sources do not provide detailed information about the tunnel’s purpose or the full extent of damage.
