Israel says troops control Wadi Saluki area

Times of Israel, citing the IDF, reported that Israeli troops achieved operational control of the Wadi Saluki stream area about 10 kilometers from the border after clearing Hezbollah infrastructure. The claim was not independently verified in accessible Lebanon/local checks, but it would move the south Lebanon ground-control line deeper into a launch and drone corridor if sustained.

Why this matters. Wadi Saluki sits in the northern-border threat map the IDF ties to Galilee Panhandle and Metula fire. Watch for Lebanese, UNIFIL, Hezbollah, satellite, or geolocation confirmation before treating the claimed site count, casualty count, or control line as settled.
