IDF Says It Cleared Hezbollah's Underground Ali Taher Ridge Complex
The Israel Defense Forces announced it completed clearing a two-decade-old underground Hezbollah facility on the Ali Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon, which the military said contained command centers, weapons rooms, generator rooms and living quarters, and has now been neutralized as a launch site.
Why this matters. Ali Taher Ridge has been the most active flashpoint of ceasefire-era clashes between Israel and Hezbollah; removing this command hub could reduce drone and rocket incidents from the site but also signals continued ground operations inside Lebanese territory despite the nominal ceasefire.
