Video: Netanyahu says Israel destroyed ‘massive’ tunnel in Lebanon

In a video statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel has destroyed a “massive” tunnel in Lebanon, claiming that Israeli forces are working to "dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure".

According to a recent report by Haaretz, Israel has been systematically flattening civilian buildings in southern Lebanon during the ceasefire that began on 17 April.

Civilian infrastructure is being destroyed south of the “yellow line” drawn up by Israel, which is located around 20km south of the Litani River. Israeli forces are prohibited from crossing the line as per the ceasefire agreement.

Since 2 March, Israeli attacks have killed at least 2,294 people in Lebanon, including 100 rescue workers and healthcare personnel, and wounded 7,544, the Lebanese health ministry said.

About 1.2 million people have also been displaced nationwide.
