Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells French media that Israel uncovered a Hezbollah plot to attack Israel via underground tunnels involving jeeps and missiles.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told French broadcasters on Wednesday that Israel had uncovered a plot by the Hezbollah terrorist organization to attack Israel via underground tunnels involving jeeps and missiles.
Netanyahu was quoted as having told French broadcasters CNews and Europe 1 that had the plan succeeded, the attack would have been more damaging than the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel.
“A hundred meters, two hundred meters from the border we found tunnels, tunnels that were preparing an invasion of Israel, an attack even greater than on October 7,” Netanyahu said, according to a simultaneous translation provided by the networks.
“With jeeps, with motorbikes, with rockets, with missiles. They were planning an invasion,” he added.
The IDF confirmed two weeks ago that, several months earlier, soldiers located a tunnel on the Lebanese border that penetrated into Israeli territory.
