IDF Completes Ali Taher Security Zone After Destroying Hezbollah Tunnels, Netanyahu Says
The military said it found Iranian-made rockets, missiles and UAVs, along with a Hezbollah command complex and underground living quarters.
- On Thursday, the IDF destroyed Hezbollah's underground infrastructure on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon, completing the establishment of the Security Zone, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced.
- Forces, including Yahalom and commando troops, operated in recent weeks within the Security Zone to dismantle the complex, which served as a central command base for Hezbollah's Badr Unit built over two decades with Iranian funding.
- Troops discovered dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles, and UAVs inside the tunnel network, which was intended to serve as a base to conquer the Galilee and provided fire control over Metulla and Kiryat Shmona.
- The Upper Galilee Regional Council warned residents of expected explosions from IDF activity, while Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Tehran that an Iranian attack would result in Israel striking all energy infrastructure, potentially returning Iran to the "Stone Age."
- While the security establishment assesses the likelihood of broad escalation with Iran as low, it remains prepared for limited fighting, and the military stressed it is committed to the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon while continuing to dismantle terrorist infrastructure.
