Iranian-backed groups’ tunnels in Deir ez-Zor, Syria revealed
Iranian-backed groups in Syria have been using a network of tunnels in the strategic region of Deir ez-Zor to facilitate covert movement and evade airstrikes.
Anadolu news agency reports that these underground passageways stretch across key regions, including Homs, Hama, and the capital Damascus.
This allows the groups to securely travel between Syria and Lebanon.
The tunnels are also used to transport weapons and ammunition, expand military operations, and strengthen influence across the region.
Deeper sections are more developed, with plastered walls and fully tiled rooms that could be used as storage depots or shelters.
In one of the tunnels, Anadolu captured on film a poster of former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated last year.
