The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) carried out an operation to “expose and destroy” cross-border tunnels allegedly built by Hezbollah near the northern Israeli town Metula, the military announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

Standing at the Lebanon-Israeli border, IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus stated, “that Lebanese town just behind me is a town called Kfarkela from which Hezbollah has been using civilian infrastructure to dig tunnels from Lebanon into Israel, violating Israeli sovereignty and UN Resolution 170.”

Concricus said that the operation won’t stop “until we are confident that all of the attack tunnels that Hezbollah has tried to dig have been dealt with and there are no more threats to Israeli civilians.”

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
