Hezbollah said it fired guided missiles at Israeli tanks in the Ali al-Taher ridge area south of Nabatieh overnight Thursday, according to a post by the group. The claim is unverified by the IDF.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility overnight for firing guided missiles at Israeli tanks in the Ali al-Taher ridge area, south of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, according to a statement by the group on Friday morning. The claim adds to a pattern of Hezbollah fire against IDF forces operating on the ridge, which The Zioneer has tracked since at least June 15 as part of an ongoing ground engagement in the western sector despite a declared ceasefire. The latest incident involves guided missiles — likely anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), consistent with Hezbollah's reported use of such weapons in recent days. The IDF has not responded publicly to the claim, and no footage or independent confirmation has emerged. Several prior Hezbollah claims in the same area (Ali al-Taher and nearby Tibnah) have been part of a documented tactical pattern of anti-tarmor attacks aimed at disrupting Israeli ground movement near the ridge line.
