  "account": "Hezbollah terrorists are attempting to establish a presence within the Yellow Line in southern Lebanon, according to IDF Northern Command sources. The IDF has been aware of the threat for at least five weeks and is working to counter it, redirecting additional manpower and resources toward securing vulnerable areas. While Hezbollah may be targeting dozens of enclaves, one example cited by the sources is the village of Al-Mansouri in the Majdal Zoun municipality. The clashes have not involved IDF ground troops but have been countered through IAF strikes, artillery fire, and combat engineering units. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hezbollah on Monday that Israel would retaliate against any attacks, celebrating the destruction of Hezbollah infrastructure on the Beaufort Ridge and Ali al-Taher Ridge as a massive victory. The IDF released new footage and details from its latest operation, showing body camera footage from a Yahalom Unit soldier inside underground tunnels and drone footage from inside the tunnels. The operation to capture the Ali al-Taher ridge lasted months, with dozens of terrorists entrenched inside, suffering a major blow as 50 of them were killed.",
