Israeli Strike on Lebanon Triggers Quake in Northern Israel
"The Geological Institute of Israel recorded a minor earthquake in the country's north following an explosion carried out by the Israeli army," an Israeli broadcaster said.
The Israeli broadcaster reported that the strike deliberately targeted a large underground tunnel constructed by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon — a significant piece of cross-border infrastructure that the military moved to neutralize.
The tunnel was confirmed to sit approximately 10 kilometers — roughly 6.2 miles — from the border and did not extend into Israeli territory, the broadcaster added.
Despite a fragile truce technically in place, Israel has continued conducting military operations inside Lebanon, raising serious questions about the durability of the ceasefire framework.
US President Donald Trump first announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon on April 17, before later confirming Thursday that the pause would be extended by an additional three weeks.
The truce came after Israel launched a full-scale offensive on March 2 — a campaign that has exacted a devastating toll. According to official figures, at least 2,534 people have been killed and 7,863 wounded, with more than 1.6 million displaced across Lebanon.
