BEIRUT: Saturday, more than a month into the all-out war, Israel said it used 400 tonnes of explosives to destroy a Hezbollah tunnel, while Lebanese state media reported that the Israeli army dynamited houses in border villages.
“The army of the Israeli enemy has since dawn blown up and destroyed houses” in the border village of Adaisseh, according to the official National News Agency.
The NNA also reported “large explosions” in the border village of Kfar Kila, claiming that smoke columns rose above the area and could be heard to the south. A “strategic underground facility” in southern Lebanon was detonated with 400 tons of explosives, according to Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee.
Adraee stated that the “tunnel” was more than a mile (1.5 kilometers) long. Earlier, the Israeli military reported “the explosion of a large quantity of explosives in Lebanon,” which was powerful enough to prompt earthquake warnings in a lot of Israel.
