The IDF has located the largest known tunnel ever dug by the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah into Israeli territory, it was announced on Wednesday.

The Hebrew news site Mako reported that the tunnel was of massive size — 80 meters (262 feet) deep and 77 meters (253 feet) long. It originated in the village of Ramyeh in southern Lebanon and was apparently planned to end between the Israeli towns of Shtula and Zar’it in northern Israel.

The tunnel was exposed during Operation Northern Shield last winter, in which the IDF located and destroyed multiple tunnels dug by Hezbollah. It is scheduled to be demolished over the next few days.

Like the others, the latest tunnel was extremely elaborate, with fully-functioning electrical and ventilation systems, allowing around-the-clock work to continue.

Colonel Roi Levi of the IDF’s Brigade 300 said, “We are neutralizing the flagship tunnel of the terror organization Hezbollah.”

“Throughout the entire operation, before and after, the residents of the north have given us a tailwind and genuine partnership,” he added.

An army source stated that the purpose of the tunnel was to facilitate the capture of a northern Israeli community, something Hezbollah has threatened to do for years.

The IDF now believes there are no more Hezbollah tunnels that have yet to be discovered.

周三宣布，以色列国防军已经找到黎巴嫩恐怖组织真主党迄今为止挖掘到以色列领土上最大的隧道。

希伯来新闻网站Mako报道说，这条隧道的规模很大——80米（262英尺）深，77米（253英尺）长。它起源于黎巴嫩南部的拉米耶村，显然计划在以色列北部的什图拉和扎里特镇之间结束。

该隧道在去年冬天的北方盾牌行动中暴露出来，国际设计公司在该行动中定位并摧毁了真主党挖掘的多个隧道。计划在未来几天内拆除。

与其他隧道一样，最新的隧道非常复杂，具有功能齐全的电气和通风系统，允许日以继夜的工作继续进行。

以色列国防军300旅的罗伊莱维上校说：“我们正在中和恐怖组织真主党的旗舰隧道。”

他补充说：“在整个行动过程中，在行动前后，北方居民给了我们一个顺风和真正的伙伴关系。”
