Israel Establishes Its First Anti-Tunnel Combat Unit

Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) are establishing a unit specifically aimed at combatting enemy tunnels on the northern border with Lebanon.

The necessity for this was established by Operation Northern Shield, which took place between December 4th, 2018 and January 13th, 2019, which saw 5 ‘Hezbollah tunnels’ destroyed. With the 6th being discovered and destroyed approximately 5 months later on May 29th, 2019.

Tel Aviv claims that Hezbollah is expected to continue its tunnel endeavors. Therefore, Israel needs to be ready, thus as part of the 91st division, a brand new, separate unit is being established to specifically combat enemy tunneling attempts.

The unit must be able to detect the construction of tunnels, study their routes, and then destroy said tunnels.

The unit commander is Captain Moshe Asraf, and according to him, the type of soil and, accordingly, the construction of tunnels in the north is completely different from that in the south, on the border with the Gaza Strip.

As a result, out of pure necessity, it was decided to create a unit specializing specifically in the northern tunnels. At this stage, there are no tunnels crossing the border, but the new unit is proactive and is monitoring the situation.

The unit is comprised of engineering troops, most of its personnel are operators of heavy engineering equipment. Since the unit uses a lot of non-standard equipment for the tunnel hunting, a special 3-week course was held on working with this equipment. Prior to this, all operators passed the regular heavy engineering equipment course and were then selected in the new unit, following a special interview with the unit commander.

The unit’s equipment includes bulldozers (Dahpor), bulldozers-loaders (Shufel), excavators (Bager), drilling equipment (Clay Kiduah) based on excavators (Mahperon) and compact Bob Dozers, as well as special technological equipment for mapping tunnel routes.

As already mentioned, the 3 main elements of the unit’s work are the discovery of tunnels, their research and study, and at the end of the process, destruction. Studying the tunnels makes it possible to understand what is going on inside them, how Hezbollah works, how best to destroy this particular tunnel. It also allegedly helps to show what awaits Israel in the next potential war with Lebanon.

In addition to the specific tasks of fighting tunnels, the new unit is a full-time engineering unit as part of the 91st division.

The division had no such unit prior to this. The unit is engaged in the standard work of an engineering unit in the division area: the construction of barriers and various land works.

On the one hand, they allegedly make it more difficult for Hezbullah to break through the Israeli border, and on the other, it’s necessary to ensure quick and safe access to the contact line for IDF units.

Unlike the engineering units attached to the division in other parts, this unit constantly operates in the northern border zone.

Accordingly, it should be well aware of the terrain and type of soil in each section of the border, and accordingly, be able to quickly complete any task in the area.

Nice to see the Israelis on the defensive. Their offensive strategy having totally failed.

The IDF are well qualified to poke around in dark and smelly holes :)

Jens Holm

So how much do they pay You:)

Ceasar Polar

They can try to detect, they are ways around radio-detection/scanners/sensors. The kikes are in panick mode, they dont know how much they dont know. That makes their paranoia level spike high. Digging around with a “pickaxe” is the way God has taught humans to defend against aggression by the Killers of the Prophets!

Jens Holm

Thats no panic mode. I see no paranoia level. They do as they have done since Israel was made and solve most things well.

I think its a kind of funny Hesbollah has to deepthat deep to have any chance at all. Even so I remember deep tunnels armed with explocived in WW1 and 2 as well as before and after.

Ceasar Polar

Okay, you dont the facts, or you havent heard, or looked in non-biased sources. Let me break it down for you as fast as i can: – israHell attacked irak (PMU), Syria (Hezbollah engineers), and Lebanon (Hezbollah Media HQ) with drones and stealth fighter jets they used US bases throughout Jordan, irak, and syria to conduct the attacks. – after the attack on Lebanon, and Syria, hezbollah’s leader Mr Nasrallah have vowed a revenge attack for the 2 martyrs engineers lost in Syria. The attack was carefully planed and the results were devastating for Israel. In the North of Occupied Palestine, one flank was totally open, special units of Hezbollah waited carefully, as they knew a senior Commander was going to pass very soon (through intel/spies/infiltrated unit), and then the vehicle passed a MRAP with Amir Barrat in it, General of the North region, he was blasted with 2 carefully executed shots of Kornets missile following the technic of “double tap” hitting the Mrap on the side and on the back, the armored vehicle exploded, the General died. Israel hide from the news made a photoshop showing injured soldiers only and the very next day it claimed that was a photoshop and no one was injured even. Classic from Israhell everytime covering up on major loss. Like when they did with their F35, got hit with a syrian S200 then claimed nothing happened, then 2 weeks later announced that one of the F35 was immobilized because of a “bird strike”. Flash news the F35 passed all the tests for the bird strike risks, no bird can immobilize the F35, but a S200 can. Later, Russia have warned Tel-aviv to stop its aggression on Syria as it deters its relation the arab republic and allies. Russia then declared that israHell will not conduct any attack on Syria and authorized the SAA to use the S300 (of course connected with the S400’s radars). 2 times now, Russia have scrambled jets to intercept israHelli F16’s that were intending to attack Syria, 2 times the israHelli aggression was stopped. Now why are the kikes so panicked ? Hezbollah have proved they hold high quality intel capabilities, as well as high preparedness for action, new training gained in Syria against Isis is making Hezbollah fighters more capable than ever. And Russia, who suddenly is not down anymore with the zionist aggression on the arab republic so basically their main power (air force) is out of option to stop the success of the arab republic. On the ground the IOF doesnt make the weight against well organized highly motivated Hezbollah fighters, the 33 day 2006 Lebanon war proved it, with the many merkavas lost to the many Kornet missiles hezbollah have to its disposition. Hezbollah today have precision guided missile and its leader have announced that they can reach all of IsraHell. Another factor raising paranoia in the zionist-scum-state is the capabilities of Houthis-ansarallah to counter US/Saudi-coalition with limited equipment and brave men. Houthis were armed by iran and trained by hezbollah specialists, now imagine what can hezbollah and iran can do, when you have houthis succeeding, it rings a bell for the israhellis and wonder what is the full scope of hezbollah capabilities. There is much more but i will stop here because this is becoming wayyyyy too long ;)

the world should establish its first anti-israel and/or anti-zionist brigade(s) with one object to meet – discontinue israel and return the land to the rightful owners. the palestinians.

Jens Holm

You are not the world, just an uncleaned little corner.

Ceasar Polar

The world does have enough of zionist-imperialist-perma-wars-state-agenda. Enough is enough.

Ceasar Polar

That is when we will have a cleansed world. There is a snake around our planete, we are far from being cleansed. Zionist-snakes funded by the money-printers is the face of the snake.

Jens Holm

Very good. Hesbollah comes from deep down hell.

Ceasar Polar

Going underground is the best defense against aggression, the afghanis proved it, hezbollah proved it, yemenis proved it. It shows devotion and brave heart. Not anyone can do it.
