The Israeli Defense Forces have released footage showing tunnels beneath Lebanon's Beaufort Castle, a strategic site recently captured during operations against Hezbollah.
Officials claim the tunnel network was used by Hezbollah to sustain military activities near the Israeli border. The disclosure comes despite a nominal ceasefire earlier this year.
The finding underscores Hezbollah's efforts to maintain positions close to Israeli territory, suggesting potential for future escalation.
Market indicators show low probability of Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon by July 31, with current odds at 2.2% for that timeline.
Observers are monitoring official statements from Israeli authorities and diplomatic efforts involving U.S. mediation for signs of de-escalation.
