The IDF emphasizes that there is no new information about Hizbullah's new tunnels, or any attempt to excavate such • The early announcement - to prevent escalation in the area • The barrier will include seismic and acoustic measures that will alert any commencement of excavation

IDF engineering forces began deploying a preventive infrastructure against Hizbullah's underground tunnels on the Lebanese border this morning (Sunday), according to the IDF, although there is no new information on Hezbollah's new tunnels, or at all on cross-border tunnels. For Israeli territory, this is an "insurance certificate" for years to come.

IDF Spokesman Brigadier General Silberman explained: "In the late morning, excavation will start with backhoes. We will see this in Israel and Lebanon as well, and we want to prevent escalation." Silberman emphasized: "We have no re-information on tunnels. We continue to work in both the intelligence and engineering and technological fields."

On the new infrastructure, Silberman said: "The infrastructure is designed to detect seismic and acoustic noise. The infrastructure is ready for deployment in Misgav with close proximity to the community. 'Paving stone' continues. "

According to the IDF, Hizbullah's attempts to excavate tunnels have not been identified so far.

Remember, during Operation "Northern Defender", the IDF acted to expose 6 Hezbollah tunnels that have infiltrated into Israeli territory. With the deployment of the new system, in case Hizbullah tries to dig tunnels again, the system will be alerted in real time.
