Hezbollah's Underground Cities Facing Collapse

The article discusses the status of the secret military system constructed underground in southern Lebanon over more than two decades. This system has formed one of Hezbollah's strategic defensive pillars, consisting of tunnels, command centers, missile warehouses, and logistical hubs. The recent escalation and clashes have significantly damaged large parts of this infrastructure, particularly south of the Litani River, leading to a decline in its effectiveness and a shift in operational focus to the northern regions. The article also highlights the importance of the "Emad 4" facility as a key example of underground fortifications and centers, which were developed with Iranian support and borrowed techniques from external expertise, at a cost estimated between one and three billion dollars. It is believed that the diminished effectiveness of these tunnels and facilities not only jeopardizes military capabilities but also sparks a broader discussion about Lebanon's future security decisions and emphasizes the need for the state to move away from relying on parallel systems to strengthen its control over security and sovereignty.
