Earlier this week, under the cover of darkness and strict security, the IDF took me and other reporters to a massive underground Hezbollah complex in southern Lebanon.
It is the largest Hezbollah tunnel system found by the IDF in southern Lebanon to date, at some 2km long and reaching depths of 40m in some areas.
The IDF believes the underground site was intended by Hezbollah for use as a staging ground, where hundreds of terror operatives would arrive when called, gather equipment, and ready themselves to attack Israeli towns. Hezbollah’s invasion plans never materialized.
Here's all the pictures I took. The nighttime shots are long exposure. In reality, it was pitch black.
The IDF says it has completed its overnight airstrikes against Iranian military sites in response to Iran’s attacks on Israel in recent months, including the 200 ballistic missiles on October 1.
The name of the operation is dubbed by the military “Days of Repentance.”
According to the military, dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, participated in the strikes some 1,600 kilometers from Israel. The aircraft safely returned to Israel following the “complex” operation.
The strikes were carried out in several waves over the course of several hours, in various areas of Iran.
The IDF says the strikes targeted Iranian military sites, including air defense batteries and missile manufacturing sites — those used in attacks on Israel on October 1 and April 14.
Additionally, the military says the strikes have given the IAF “wider freedom of aerial action in Iran,” and it has a wide bank of targets that can be struck in future operations, if required.
Medics are responding to reports of at least three wounded in a stabbing incident in the northern city of Karmiel. Further details are not immediately known.
MDA says medics are treating two victims, one of whom is in serious condition.
The stabbing attack took place in a shopping mall in Karmiel.
Two men were wounded, one seriously and the other lightly.
The stabber was "neutralized" at the scene, police say.
An Israeli drone strike was carried out in the West Bank's Nur Shams camp a short while ago.
According to the IDF, the strike was carried out against a group of operatives planting a bomb.
A military source says the IDF was tracking the cell and ambushed them when the operatives began to plant a roadside bomb in Nur Shams.
The location of the strike was about 100 meters from where an Israeli soldier was killed by a roadside bomb on Monday morning, according to the source.
