IDF considering handing Lebanese army control of Hezbollah underground compound
Security officials are considering allowing Lebanon’s army to take control of a Hezbollah tunnel compound in the southern Lebanese village of Tebnit, N12 reported on Sunday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the sources, the idea was raised in recent days in political and military discussions, and may continue to be discussed in upcoming talks on Tuesday.
Israel believes that transferring the responsibility to Lebanon’s army could serve as a test of its ability and willingness to act against Hezbollah, said N12.
“This could be a test for the ability and motivation of the Lebanese army to deal publicly and in an unprecedented way with Hezbollah,” said an Israeli source.
