Over Many Years, Hezbollah Dug Tunnels, Embedded Weapons, and Built Observation Posts Behind the Front of an Environmental NGO in Southern Lebanon; The IDF Operated to Remove These Threats to Israeli Civilians

The IDF’s 36th Division is conducting limited, localized, targeted raids against key Hezbollah terrorist targets in southern Lebanon that pose a threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel. During the operations so far, the troops have eliminated numerous terrorists, destroyed underground infrastructure, and dismantled over 500 operational enemy infrastructure and combat compounds, including weapons storage facilities.

Over many years, the Hezbollah terrorist organization has cynically exploited the "Green Without Borders" (GWB) environmental NGO as a front for its military activities in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah dug tunnels, stored weapons, and built military observation posts inside GWB facilities located near the border with Israeli communities. During the operations of the 36th Division, the troops countered these threats, conducted targeted raids on these Hezbollah military assets, and destroyed the weapons and underground infrastructure.
