Israeli Operation Ends With Discovery of 6th Terror Tunnel in North

The Israeli army’s mission to locate and destroy terror tunnels built from Lebanon into Israel is wrapping up according to an announcement on Sunday morning. The effort’s grand finale was the discovery of the sixth tunnel, this one said to have been the largest of the bunch. The subterranean menaces were built by the Iranian-proxy Hizbullah terrorist organization, each one originating in the south Lebanon areas specifically forbidden to Hizbullah by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 which ended the 2006 war between the Beirut-based jihadists and the Israeli army. In a briefing to military correspondents on Saturday and reported by the daily Haaretz, the army spokesman described the final tunnel as containing “railroads to transport equipment, garbage, lighting equipment and ladders to enter Israeli territory. Stairs were built. A lot of resources were invested in this tunnel.” In an apparent attempt to dispel the fears of residents in the north who are skeptical about the army’s ability to locate and destroy all of the tunnels, it was made clear that the recently-concluded mission was aimed at destroying or rendering unusable tunnels that extended into Israeli territory, conceding that there are an unknown number of tunnels that do not. The army is also building a wall along the border that extends beneath the surface deep enough to prevent new tunnels.
