IDF finishes clearing out Hezbollah tunnels under Ali Taher Ridge
IDF troops seize control of the Ali al-Taher Ridge and neutralize an Iran-funded Hezbollah underground network equipped for extended combat operations.
On Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) declared the completion of a two-decade-long operation to dismantle Hezbollah's underground infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. The military stated that the tunnels, funded and built by Iran, were designed to support Hezbollah's combat operations and long-term presence in the area.
After months of intense efforts, the IDF achieved operational control of the ridge, both above and below ground, neutralizing the terrorist threat. Hezbollah operatives inside the infrastructure, including some killed and others fleeing, were unable to continue their attacks against Israel and IDF forces. The IDF remains committed to the ceasefire agreement and continues defensive operations in accordance with its assessment of the situation.
