Lebanese state media said the Israeli army dynamited houses in Lebanese border villages on Saturday, as Israel said it used 400 tonnes of explosives to destroy a Hezbollah tunnel, more than a month into an all-out war.

The official National News Agency said “the army of the Israeli enemy has since dawn blown up and destroyed houses” in the border village of Adaisseh.

The NNA also reported “large explosions” in the border village of Kfar Kila, saying the blasts were heard across the south as columns of smoke rose above the area.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said 400 tonnes of explosives were used to blow up a “strategic underground facility” in southern Lebanon.

The “tunnel” was more than 1.5 kilometres (around a mile) long, Adraee said.

The Israeli military had earlier reported “the explosion of a large quantity of explosives in Lebanon” that was strong enough to trigger earthquake warnings in large parts of Israel.

The Israeli army published a video showing massive detonations at the border.

Lebanese state media has reported several incidents of Israeli blasts targeting houses in border villages in recent days.

Israel’s Channel 12 broadcast footage on Friday that appeared to show one of its presenters detonating a building while embedded with Israeli troops in the south Lebanon village of Aita al-Shaab.
