Israel destroys 'Hezbollah cross-border tunnel'

The Israeli army says it has destroyed another cross-border tunnel, which it claims was built by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

A video released by the Israelis on Wednesday showed an officer shouting across the border and warning residents of the Lebanese village of Ayta ash-Shab that they were in danger and to stand far away.

The video then shows a countdown before a soldier pushes a button and aerial footage of a powerful explosion.

Israel announced the discovery of the tunnels - five in total -  earlier in December. It said Hezbollah planned to use these tunnels in the event of a war to conduct attacks in Israel.
