This year's Israel Security Prize will be awarded to intelligence and engineering teams that uncovered and neutralized Hezbollah tunnels in the north, according to Yisrael Hayom.
The operation to expose the tunnels was the culmination of an operational-technological intelligence effort that lasted more than four years, following the end of the Protective Edge operation in Gaza, when initial indications were received that Hezbollah was involved in tunneling. This project is one of four that will receive the prize this year, including the Mossad staff that brought the Iranian nuclear archive to Israel, and two other bodies.
