Hezbollah's extensive underground network has given the group a significant tactical edge in its ongoing conflict with Israel. These hidden tunnels and bunkers allow Hezbollah to move weapons, fighters, and supplies undetected, while also shielding them from Israeli airstrikes.

Israel faces challenges in detecting and neutralizing these underground systems, making Hezbollah’s network a crucial factor in its resilience and ability to withstand Israeli military operations. This network enhances Hezbollah's capacity to sustain prolonged conflict and defend its strongholds.

A Norwegian linked to the detonation of communication devices used by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has been reported missing, prompting authorities to issue an international arrest warrant, police said Thursday.

Norway's National Criminal Investigation Service (Kripos) confirmed to AFP that it had sent an international notice, without identifying the man.

Oslo Police last week opened an investigation into a Norwegian man's alleged links to the blasts.

"A missing persons case has been opened and we have issued an international search for the person," Mari Elise Bunaes Myhrer of the Oslo Police told broadcaster NRK.

Hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies detonated across Lebanon last week, killing at least 39 people and wounding nearly 3,000 in an attack widely blamed on Israel, which has refused to comment.&nbsp;

Bulgarian authorities opened an investigation after Hungarian website Telex reported that Norta Global -- a company registered in Bulgaria by a Norwegian -- had imported the devices and then delivered them to Hezbollah.&nbsp;

Bulgaria's National Security Agency (SANS) later said the company had nothing to do with the delivery of the exploding devices, but Oslo Police said they had opened a "preliminary investigation into the information that has emerged".

Norta Global, founded in April 2022 by Rinson Jose, last year declared revenue of 650,000 euros ($725,000) for consulting activities outside the European Union.&nbsp;

The United Nations said Friday that the detonation of the hand-held communication devices could constitute a war crime.
