A 4.1 magnitude earthquake was felt in Lebanon on Friday following the explosion at the Ali al-Taher ridge, according to The Zioneer. No damage or casualties have been reported.
A 4.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded in southern Lebanon on Friday, occurring in the aftermath of the massive explosion at the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge. Surveillance footage showed buildings shaking from the seismic event. No damage or casualties have been reported.
The Zioneer reported on Thursday evening (Sep 10, 20:58 Jerusalem) that the IDF was preparing to demolish terror tunnels in the al-Taher area. Within hours, footage emerged showing the destruction of tunnels, and additional angles confirmed the blast. By Thursday night (22:04 Jerusalem), reports indicated that the Imad-4 missile city had been destroyed. The corroboration evolved from initial reports to visual confirmation from security cameras and multiple news outlets.
The Ali al-Taher ridge, a strategic height overlooking Nabatieh, has been a frequent target of IDF operations. As The Zioneer reported on June 19, ground troops battled Hezbollah at the ridge, and airstrikes were reported on August 5. The ridge has been a focal point of the IDF's expanded ground maneuver north of the Litani River.
The cause of the earthquake—whether directly triggered by the blast or a separate geological event—has not been determined. No damage or casualties have been reported from the earthquake.
