Israel ‘destroys’ Hezbollah tunnel

The Israeli army said on Friday it has blown up a cross-border tunnel dug by Hezbollah from Lebanon, the first of four it has uncovered — and pledged to destroy — in recent weeks.

“A cross-border attack tunnel dug from the Shia village of Ramyeh into Israel was detonated” in an operation on Thursday night, the army said in a statement. —
