Israel destroys Hezbollah tunnel network on Ali al-Taher ridge in Lebanon

Israel’s military announced that it has destroyed a network of tunnels belonging to Hezbollah on the Ali al‑Taher ridge, a high‑ground position that overlooks the border between Israel and Lebanon. The operation, carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), was described as a precision strike aimed at neutralising underground infrastructure that the army says was intended for infiltration and attacks against Israeli territory.

The Ali al‑Taher ridge has been a focal point in the ongoing hostilities between Israel and the Lebanese militant group, with both sides regularly exchanging fire along the frontier. Israeli officials indicated that the tunnel system was part of a broader effort by Hezbollah to establish concealed routes for militants and weapons. The IDF’s statement did not disclose casualties or the exact scale of the demolition, but it underscored the continued emphasis on pre‑emptive actions to counter perceived threats along the volatile border.
