European lawmakers taken to Hezbollah tunnel on northern border

Senior members of the European Parliament viewed a Hezbollah tunnel at the Israel town of Zarit on the Lebanon border.

The cross-border tunnel, plunging more than 80 meters (260 feet) below ground, was the largest and deepest of six passageways that Israel said members of the Hezbollah terror group had dug as part of a plan to carry out attacks against soldiers and civilians.

The visit comes weeks after Israel and the EU finalized their agreement for Jerusalem to join the EU’s largest research and innovation program, Horizon Europe.
