IDF destroys 2 Hezbollah bunkers on Israeli side of Lebanon border

By Eli Ashkenazi, Haaretz Correspondent

Israel Defense Forces troops on Friday destroyed two Hezbollah bunkers discovered during searches in the area around the Lebanese border fence.

The IDF was combing the Katamon valley in the western part of the area surrounding the Lebanese border with Israel. One bunker had already been discovered during this summer's war, and the other was discovered on Wednesday.

The bunkers were both within Israel's territory, somewhere between the international border and the border fence. The bunkers housed supplies, food and tools that would enable a long stay underground.

In a statement released Friday, the IDF spokesman's office said that the aim of the operation was to prevent Hezbollah from reclaiming the bunkers, and represents a shift in IDF methods around the border with Lebanon that are meant to strengthen the army's "defensive operational effectiveness."

Two weeks ago, the IDF unearthed a cache near the border of supplies that had been used in the abduction of IDF soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Golwasser, which sparked the summer's war with Hezbollah.
