The IDF is considering striking Hezbollah terror tunnels where terrorists remain trapped following Wednesday’s explosive drone attack on an Israeli engineering vehicle in southern Lebanon.

The military has identified the tunnels as a possible target in its response to the attack but is awaiting approval from the political leadership. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to make the final decision.

A strike on the tunnels could lead to a rapid return to intensive fighting against Hezbollah, depending on the scope of the response approved by Netanyahu and senior defense officials.

The attack targeted an IDF engineering vehicle operating inside the security zone in southern Lebanon, prompting the military to examine several possible retaliatory measures.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Israel is prepared to advance deeper into Lebanon if necessary, signaling that the military is ready for broader action should Hezbollah continue its attacks.
