The IDF Chief of Staff visited Division 36 on the northern border and confirmed the destruction of Hezbollah's primary underground command-and-control infrastructure at the Ali Taher ridge. He noted the facility was built with Iranian assistance. In remarks published by the military, he stated that the IDF would defend northern communities at any cost and that any attack on settlements or IDF forces would be met with an immediate and powerful response. He emphasized that the 'yellow line' — likely referring to the border zone — remains under full Israeli control and unchanged.
The visit comes as the Israeli new year holiday begins. The Chief of Staff said the entire IDF is standing guard over the country from the front lines.
The destruction of the Hezbollah bunker complex represents a significant tactical achievement in the ongoing campaign against Hezbollah's fortified positions near the border.
