Hezbollah's underground tunnels (or Hezbollah Tunnels Network or Hezbollah's Underground Facilities, Arabic: أنفاق حزب الله) refer to a network of underground passages[1] used by Hezbollah, primarily in southern Lebanon, along the Lebanon-Israel border.[2] These tunnels are often used for military purposes, such as smuggling weapons,[3] storing supplies,[1] and allowing fighters to move discreetly.[4] The tunnels have been a significant concern for Israel, which views them as a direct security threat.[5] The tunnels are often viewed as a violation of UN resolutions and contribute to the ongoing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.[6] In the same UN note several UN commissioners asked to consider both: Hezbollah violations and the Israel’s daily violations of resolution 1701 (2006) as a serious concern for UN.
