Residents of Moshav Zar’it, near Israel’s northern border, were shocked when the IDF uncovered a Hezbollah-built tunnel dangerously close to their community. The tunnel, dug by the Iran-backed terrorist group, raised concerns of armed militants infiltrating Israel. Despite the IDF neutralizing the threat, residents like Sara and Zion Arbiv expressed frustration over the lack of action to address ongoing security concerns.
Gabi Naaman, head of the Shlomi Local Council, demanded a full investigation into the security failure, highlighting the constant threat faced by communities near the border. The discovery of the tunnel has left residents anxious, considering recent attacks by Hamas in Gaza.
Israel’s Fight Against Hezbollah
Hezbollah’s construction of tunnels along the border poses a direct threat to Israeli civilians, similar to Hamas’s tactics in Gaza. The ongoing tension in the region has led to increased fear among residents of northern Israel, who remain vigilant against potential infiltrations.
