The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have published a video of an alleged Hezbollah tunnel being sealed off with the use of liquid cement. The substance was poured into the tunnel's exit on Israeli territory and spilled out of the hole in Lebanon, located between houses and a factory. The IDF claimed that it proves that the Lebanese government was responsible for the construction of the tunnels.

"These pictures of the flowing cement will speak for themselves and show the Lebanese government under which Hezbollah operates", an IDF spokesman said.
