Israel announces the destruction of Hezbollah attack tunnels

This military operation comes in a context tense on the "northern front" Israel by Iran's desire to arm Hezbollah. Without being devoid of ulterior motives on the side of Netanyahu, attacked on his security policy.

"Shield of the North": it is the name given to the last "operation" of the Israeli army on the Lebanese border, announced this Tuesday at dawn by a vast campaign of communication. The stated objective of the IDF is the destruction of Hezbollah's "cross-border attack tunnels". The latter were dug as part of a plan to "conquer Galilee," a threat made in 2012 in several propaganda videos of the Shiite militia in case of renewed conflict. Until now, the fear of tunnels was only associated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, against which Israel has developed an ad hoc detection technology (fifteen concrete casings leaving the enclave under blockade have been destroyed since the end of 2017). ) and undertook the construction of an underground wall in the south of the country.
