Hezbollah's Underground Infrastructure in Lebanon

The article "Jouan Naoum's Local Insights into Lebanon's Depths: The State Built by Hezbollah Underground" reveals a vast and sophisticated tunnel network constructed by Hezbollah in Lebanon. This network surpasses the simple tunnels the group had built prior to 2006. Over time, these tunnels have evolved to include deep and wide passages capable of accommodating vehicles and weapons. They also contain secret facilities such as arms depots, command rooms, medical facilities, kitchens, and vaccination stations, all concealed with clandestine measures to evade aerial and electronic surveillance. This network is primarily built in areas with a strong Hezbollah presence, especially in southern Lebanon and northern Beqaa. It has been developed at great cost and significantly enhances Hezbollah's ability to move and prepare for war independently of the Lebanese state. The scale of this infrastructure and the investment in its construction demonstrate the importance of the informal military infrastructure, which poses a strategic threat to Lebanon and Israel alike. There remains considerable uncertainty about the full extent of these tunnels, as Lebanese authorities lack effective oversight and seem unaware of their complete reach.
