The IDF destroyed a huge Hezbollah tunnel in Lebanon this evening (Tuesday).
This is the largest Hezbollah tunnel discovered in Operation Roar of the Lion. The terror tunnel was located about ten kilometers from the border and did not penetrate Israeli territory.
Following the explosion, the Geological Survey announced that an earthquake was felt in the southern Lebanon region.

Defense Minister Israel Katz responded: "Southern Lebanon is like Gaza. The IDF has now destroyed an underground terrorist infrastructure in Qantara, Lebanon, which is inside the new security zone, with a huge explosion.".
""The Lebanese government and the Lebanese army committed to liberating southern Lebanon from Hezbollah terrorists and weapons, and these are the results.
""Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to destroy all terrorist infrastructure in the security zone up to the yellow line, below and above ground, just like in Gaza - in order to remove threats from the residents of the Galilee.".
""Nasrallah destroyed the Shiite community in Lebanon and Naim Qassem is now bringing about the destruction of its homes and villages. We promised security to the residents of the north, and so we will.".
