Expert on Hezbollah's tunnels:<ref>[https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-5419959,00.html Also in Yemen and towards Syria: Hezbollah tunnels], Dr. Yaron Friedman, Ynet, Dec 5, 2018</ref>
<blockquote>
Lebanese "human shield"
Most Lebanese military commentators explain that the excavation of the tunnels is the result of the lessons of the Second Lebanon War, and were intended to protect Hezbollah fighters and equipment from Israel's subsequent bombings. Al-Qusayr-Zabdani's border area is strategically convenient for Hezbollah because it is mountainous, and compared to other areas for fighter jets it is difficult to bomb.
Lebanese commentator Ahmad al-Ayoubi claimed that Hezbollah was acting without any regard for Lebanon, as the country's landlord, and in 2006 brought disaster and tremendous destruction to Lebanon, all due to the irresponsible step of kidnapping soldiers, serving only the organization's interests. Now the tunnels could bring exactly the same results. According to al-Ayoubi, Hezbollah is defending itself and not the Lebanese. In the next war, the organization's fighters will be in the tunnels, while the civilians will snatch the fire from Israeli planes. Lebanese citizens are becoming a human shield of the organization.
