Israel says it destroyed Hezbollah underground complex at Lebanon's Ali al-Taher
The military said the network stretched more than 2 kilometers and held rockets, missiles and drones, along with a Hezbollah command center.
- On Thursday, the IDF destroyed a massive Hezbollah tunnel network at the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon, completing Israel's operational control of the strategic site above and below ground.
- Hezbollah built the extensive underground infrastructure at the Ali Taher Ridge over two decades using Iranian funding, creating a staging base with fire dominance over Metula and Kiryat Shmona.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the site as "strategic terror infrastructure" in a joint statement, while Katz announced last week that Hezbollah fighters had been killed or fled.
- Reuters reported earlier this month that Iran warned the United States against an Israeli attack on the ridge; there was no immediate comment from Lebanon or Hezbollah regarding the destruction.
- Israel and Lebanon are expected to hold their latest round of US-backed talks in Rome later this month, as the demolition follows weeks of fighting marking a major escalation.
