An Israeli military analyst assesses that IDF forces may renew attempts tonight to capture the Ali al-Taher ridge, a strategic height overlooking Nabatieh that contains a Hezbollah underground base with rocket storage. Separately, a source close to Iranian circles warns of threats — but notes no official IRGC indication of an imminent missile launch, as Iran sends a delegation to Switzerland for talks.
An Israeli military analyst assessed Saturday evening that IDF forces may resume concentrated efforts overnight to capture the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, a strategic height overlooking Nabatieh. According to the analyst, the ridge contains a Hezbollah underground base with tunnels and rocket/missile storage sites, making it a priority objective for Israeli forces. The assessment follows days of ground clashes at the same location: as The Zioneer reported on Saturday (15:48), Hezbollah said it was committed to the ceasefire but would confront IDF advances on the ridge. Earlier reports (Jun 15–19) described heavy artillery, anti-tank missile fire, and close-quarters combat in the area.
Separately, a source close to Iranian circles posted on Saturday that threats from Iranian sources should not be conflated with official IRGC positions, and that Iran is currently sending a delegation to Switzerland for negotiations, suggesting no immediate missile launch is indicated at this stage. The two messages are distinct events in the same batch and are reported here as separate items; the analyst's assessment is a single-source opinion (Developing), while the Iranian framing remains an unattributed cautionary note.
