Netanyahu: IDF blew up Hezbollah tunnels near Beaufort, 'we won't accept ceasefire violations'
The IDF demolished the terror tunnel infrastructure in the Beaufort area of southern Lebanon overnight, in what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said was a response to "yesterday's blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement by Hezbollah."
The underground infrastructure "was a central part of the Hezbollah terror organization's invasion plan for the communities of the Galilee. The tunnels were blown up using approximately 700 tons of explosives, as part of the IDF's systematic operation to destroy all of Hezbollah's terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon," the joint statement noted.
"The State of Israel will not accept any violation of the ceasefire agreement. Any attempt by Hezbollah to harm IDF forces or Israeli citizens will be met with a harsh and powerful response that will exact a heavy price from the terror organization."
"The IDF will remain in the security zone in southern Lebanon and will continue to destroy any terror infrastructure in order to prevent any attempt by Hezbollah to rebuild its capabilities," they concluded.
