The IDF announced that the 6th - the last and final - tunnel has been discovered from Lebanon entering Israel, and has been demolished. Operation Northern Shield is now concluded.
This particular tunnel was massive. It was much deeper than the others, at a depth of 55 meters. It was 800 meters long. This tunnel had railroad tracks laid to move heavy equipment in to Israel, along with electricity, lighting, and stairs. More details can be found at Israel Hayom and Times of Israel.
Thank God and the IDF for this latest discovery. May they have continued success in the defense of Israel and the Jews. My only question is why the IDF is calling this the last tunnel. This can only be the last tunnel until they find or don't find the next one. They probably thought the previously discovered tunnel - the fifth tunnel - was the last on as well, though I dont remember them saying ti was the last one - I do remember PM Netanyahu explaining that after finding and demolishing that tunnel, the threat/crisis is now behind us and we can now go to new elections. It seems more hopeful - they, and I, hope it is the last tunnel and that there are no more. Hopefully it is the last one and the threat is now really behind us.
