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.
