Hezbollah recently revealed an extensive network of terror tunnels capable of launching missiles, escalating fears of a major conflict with Israel. In a chilling video released by the Lebanese militant group, the underground infrastructure is shown in detail, highlighting its capacity to accommodate large trucks transporting missiles and other weaponry.
The video features a sprawling network of tunnels with high stone walls decorated with portraits of leaders and soldiers. Heavily armed militants are seen maneuvering through the underground maze on motorbikes.
The footage also captures trucks carrying enormous missiles navigating the dark corridors, offering a stark glimpse into the group’s extensive arsenal. Drone footage further reveals the vastness of this subterranean network, which also contains advanced military technology, including computers and other equipment.

In the video, a narrator boasts about the precision and secrecy of Hezbollah’s missile capabilities. He asserts that the group has both precision-guided and unguided missiles ready for deployment, claiming that any Israeli aggression would be met with a formidable response spanning from the Lebanese border to the Jordanian border and extending to the Red Sea. The narrator emphasizes that the missiles are strategically placed and ready to strike.
Hezbollah’s revelation comes amidst a backdrop of heightened regional tensions. The militant group’s actions mirror those of Hamas, which also operates secret underground facilities. In January, Israeli forces uncovered hidden workshops beneath a civilian evacuation route in Gaza. These facilities were used to manufacture long-range missiles and other weaponry, including modified mortar shells.
The workshops were connected to an extensive tunnel network designed to transport weapons throughout Gaza, with multiple sites along the Salah a-Din main highway being used for producing rocket fuel, explosives and projectiles. The IDF identified this as the largest Hamas weapons production site discovered to date.
The ongoing conflict has prompted global concern, with experts warning of a potential large-scale war involving Hezbollah and other Iran-backed groups. The Middle East is on edge following a brutal ambush by Hamas on Israeli soil in October last year, which marked the beginning of a new and intense phase of conflict. Israel’s response included nearly 10 months of airstrikes and warfare in Gaza, resulting in significant casualties.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed retaliation following the death of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut in late July. This has raised expectations of imminent retaliation against Israel. Meanwhile, Iran has also vowed vengeance for the assassination of a Hamas commander in Tehran on July 31. In response to the escalating threats, the U.S. has advised its citizens to leave Lebanon, while British troops are positioned in the region for a potential military evacuation operation.
The current situation underscores the growing volatility in the region, with multiple actors poised for further escalation amid a backdrop of ongoing and complex geopolitical tensions.
In response to Hezbollah’s video, the Iranian Embassy in Beirut has made a bold statement regarding Iran’s missile capabilities. The embassy declared that Iran can launch attacks against Israel “from any location” within the country.
In its statement, the embassy explained that what is referred to as “missile cities” in Persian are missile installations located underground, within rocks and mountains throughout Iran. These facilities are designed to instill fear in Iran’s adversaries, with the capability to strike from various locations across Iranian territory if needed.
The tension between Israel and Hezbollah continues to escalate, fueled by ongoing cross-border attacks. This rise in hostilities occurs against the backdrop of a devastating Israeli campaign in Gaza, which has resulted in over 40,000 deaths since last October, following a major assault by the Palestinian group Hamas.
