Hezbollah has developed a sophisticated tunnel system with the backing of Iran and North Korea to counter Israel while simultaneously gaining support across Lebanon, becoming Israel's greatest threat.
Despite Israel’s nearly one-year-long war with Hamas in Gaza after the Oct. 7 attacks, security experts continue to sound the alarm that Jerusalem’s greatest threat actually lies to the north in Lebanon, where Hezbollah has developed a sophisticated tunnel system. Hezbollah, an Islamic terrorist organization that has long had the backing of Iran, has over the last two decades developed a network of tunnels that stretch more than 100 miles in cumulative length throughout southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah is believed to have begun mining its tunnels after the Second Lebanon War in 2006 in close coordination between Iran and North Korea after Tehran reportedly derived 'inspiration' from Pyongyang and the tunnels that it developed in the aftermath of the Korean War.
