Hezbollah operates an underground military base in southern Lebanon that can place all of Israel within striking range [1, 2].
The facility represents a significant escalation in the group's ability to conduct long-range attacks. By establishing a hardened tunnel complex, Hezbollah can potentially shield its launch capabilities from detection while maintaining a threat across the entire Israeli territory.
According to Israeli military correspondent Emanuel Fabian, the base is located near the hill-top town of Majdal Zoun [1, 2]. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the base allows the militant group to reach any part of the country [1].
The infrastructure was designed to enable these long-range strikes [1]. The facility's location in southern Lebanon provides a strategic vantage point, integrating subterranean protection with tactical proximity to the border.
Reports regarding the base surfaced in a briefing on June 23, 2024 [1]. The IDF continues to monitor the complex as part of its broader strategy to neutralize threats emanating from the Lebanese border.

The existence of a tunnel complex capable of targeting any location in Israel shifts the tactical landscape of the conflict. It suggests that Hezbollah has moved beyond localized border skirmishes to a posture of strategic depth, forcing the IDF to account for high-value targets across the entire country being vulnerable to strikes from a single, hardened facility.
