On December 26, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that their forces had discovered and destroyed a 5th ‘Hezbollah attack tunnel’ on the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The IDF launched its Operation Northern Shield on December 4, 2018. The IDF declares that the goal of the operation is to eliminate’Hezbollah tunnels’, whoch pose a threat to Israeli security. However, the IDF does not reveal locations of the tunnels which it allegedly found. This allows some sources to speculate that at least a part of these “tunnels” is just a media forgery.
