Israeli military officials said they have successfully demolished an extensive tunnel network operated by Hezbollah under the Ali al-Taher ridge, marking what they described as a significant blow to the militant group's infrastructure. The operation targeted multiple underground facilities, including a command centre, living quarters and weapons storage areas.
The destruction of the tunnel complex comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah along the Lebanon-Israel border. Israeli officials indicated that the operation represents part of a broader military campaign and suggested additional strikes could follow.
The Ali al-Taher ridge, located in southern Lebanon, has long been considered a strategic area. The tunnel network reportedly served as part of Hezbollah's defensive and operational infrastructure in the region.
Hezbollah has not immediately issued a formal response to the Israeli claims regarding the tunnel destruction. Cross-border military incidents between Israel and Hezbollah have increased in recent months, raising concerns about potential escalation in the volatile region.
Regional observers are monitoring the situation closely, as any significant military escalation between the two sides could have broader implications for stability in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East.
