Israel has informed Moscow about the Northern Shield operation on the border with Lebanon aimed at destroying Hezbollah tunnels, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Gary Koren told Sputnik on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus announced that the Israeli army was launching the Northern Shield operation at the Israeli-Lebanese border in order to find and destroy cross-border tunnels of the Hezbollah movement.
"I can add that not only the Lebanese side, but also the Russian side received this information. Today, the Israeli delegation was in the Russian Foreign Ministry, and a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister [Sergey] Vershinin took place, where this [operation Northern Shield] was one of the topics that was discussed," Koren said.
