Rare Footage Reveals Hezbollah's Hidden UAV Tunnel Deep in Lebanon
In rare and striking footage, Channel 13 correspondent Yossi Eli has taken viewers deep inside a Hezbollah tunnel built to house and launch unmanned aerial vehicles, located roughly 10 kilometers from the Israeli border and dozens of meters underground in southern Lebanon. The tunnel was uncovered during recent Israeli military operations in the area, and the special segment offers one of the most detailed public looks yet at the kind of subterranean infrastructure Hezbollah has constructed along the border region. The footage is set to air tonight as part of Eli's ongoing reporting from inside the conflict zone.
The tunnel's depth and proximity to the border highlight the scale of the engineering effort Hezbollah invested in building a network capable of supporting drone operations against Israel, largely shielded from aerial surveillance and airstrikes by the layers of earth above it. Tunnels of this kind, often referred to by Israeli forces as part of a broader underground UAV and missile infrastructure, have become a central focus of IDF operations in southern Lebanon, as the military works to dismantle Hezbollah's capacity to launch attacks from concealed, hardened positions close to Israeli communities.
The footage adds to a growing body of visual evidence Israeli forces and media have brought to the public throughout the campaign, documenting the extent of Hezbollah's underground military buildup in the years leading up to the conflict. For residents of northern Israel, who have lived under the threat of cross-border attacks for years, footage like this offers a rare and unsettling window into just how close, and how deeply embedded, that threat had become before the IDF began dismantling it.
