Hezbollah Tunnels: From Weapon to Leverage
The article discusses the tunnel network established by Hezbollah in South Lebanon, which is considered an integrated military system comprising strategic and tactical tunnels, command centers, weapon storage facilities, and supply routes, all of which cost billions of dollars. Israeli reports indicate that some of these tunnels contain command rooms, ventilation systems, and electrical setups, aimed at enhancing the party’s capabilities and protecting its command structure during confrontations. However, Lebanese experts believe that reliance on the tunnels may have been a miscalculation by Hezbollah regarding the evolving nature of modern warfare, especially with technological advancements designed to target such facilities. They noted that Israel's destruction of a large part of these tunnels reflects a significant security and military loss and impacts the party’s defensive philosophy, which was based on its ability to withstand within the tunnels. They also pointed out that the increasing role of aircraft and drones diminishes the effectiveness of these networks, and that Hezbollah's strategies will likely change following these losses, shifting focus towards missile and rocket capabilities and tightening control over its political influence.
