The underground facility, revealed by Hezbollah two years ago as an 'impregnable fortress' with 48 km of tunnels, fell two nights ago after a prolonged siege, according to a video circulating on social media. Iranian state media have reportedly remained silent on the loss.
The fall of Hezbollah's 'Imad' missile city — an extensive underground complex beneath the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon — marks a significant milestone in the IDF's campaign to dismantle Hezbollah's subterranean infrastructure. The facility, which Hezbollah inaugurated two years ago with a propaganda video showcasing 48 kilometers of tunnels, was described at the time as the world's most impenetrable fortress. According to the latest reports, it fell after a three-month siege by Israeli forces, with the capture occurring two nights ago. Iranian state media, which once heavily promoted the site, have reportedly not covered its loss. The Zioneer previously reported on the IDF's capture of the related 'Imad 4' base on the same ridge, described as a fortified command-and-launch hub built with Iranian funding. The current report suggests the wider missile city has now been taken, further degrading Hezbollah's ability to operate from deep underground positions in southern Lebanon.
