Excerpts from article:
...JERUSALEM - Israel's military said it began construction of an underground defense system Sunday along its northern frontier with Lebanon to protect against cross-border tunnels.
...Israel destroyed a series of what it said were attack tunnels last year, dug under the border by the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
...Israel recently warned that Hezbollah had beefed up its presence along the volatile frontier.
...The most recent flare-up was in September, when Hezbollah fired a barrage of anti-tank missiles into Israel and Israel responded with artillery fire.
...Israel believes the group has an arsenal of some 130,000 missiles and rockets capable of striking virtually anywhere in Israel.
