| Tunnel Vision: How The Next War With Hezbollah Might Have Looked |
| 2018-12-09 |
| [Jpost] It was around 5 a.m. on Tuesday when the IDF struck gold, or rather a gap in the limestone under an orchard belonging to the northern town of Metulla. It was the first cross-border attack tunnel built by Hezbollah the army found. After years of northern residents’ complaints of hearing digging sounds below their feet ‐ despite 12 years of relative quiet on the Leb front ‐ Hezbollah’s most important offensive surprise is now out in the open. The tunnel, which infiltrated only 40 meters into Israeli territory and was not yet operational, would have been used by the group’s elite Radwan unit to infiltrate Metulla in an attempt to take control of the community and cut it off from Route 90 to kill as many civilians and troops as possible. |
