Hezbollah Built Vast Tunnel Network in Lebanon with North Korean Expertise
-
Hezbollah has an extensive tunnel network in southern Lebanon spanning hundreds of kilometers, far larger than Hamas' tunnels in Gaza.
-
The tunnels serve as underground staging areas, connectors between villages, and possible attack and explosive tunnels along the border.
-
North Korea provided tunnel construction expertise to Hezbollah starting in the 1990s.
-
Shiite construction companies likely built many tunnels under guise of civilian projects in 2000s.
-
Tunnels may house precision-guided missiles; launch sites difficult to detect from air.
