Ali al-Taher ridge, near Nabatieh, Lebanon

The IDF said it used more than 1,100 tons of explosives to destroy two tunnels running over 2 km beneath the Ali al-Taher ridge near Nabatieh, which it called the nerve center of Hezbollah's Badr division; the USGS recorded the blast as a magnitude 4.1 tremor. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said it completed Israel's security zone in southern Lebanon.

Why it matters

Israel is entrenching a buffer north of the border days before scheduled talks with Lebanon, which Iran had warned Washington against.
