IDF forces operating in South Lebanon detected a Hezbollah terrorist hiding in a deep shaft leading to an underground tunnel that was located in a village near the border with Israel.
The man was taken into custody and was under interrogation. In footage released by the military, the terrorist is seen climbing out of the shaft, stripped of his cloths to ensure he did not have an explosive device.

The soldiers surrounded the building, uncovered the tunnel shaft, and located an underground complex at a depth of about seven meters and approximately 50 meters of living space where a Hezbollah terrorist could remain alongside weapons and equipment for a long stay.
After the terrorist surrendered and was arrested, the soldiers interrogated him in the field and later brought him to a detention facility for further investigation in Israel.
