The IDF has completed the destruction of Hezbollah's strategic underground tunnel network on the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to a report Friday morning. The network, built over two decades with Iranian funding, was neutralized in an operation that also served as a message to Tehran, underscoring Israel's ability to dismantle Hezbollah's most fortified assets. Israel maintains high alert amid the holiday period.
The operation to destroy Hezbollah's underground command complex on the Ali Taher ridge was completed Thursday evening, as The Zioneer reported. Friday morning, a recap of the operation emphasized that the destruction of the eight-tunnel network, which stretched over 5.4 kilometers and was built with over two decades of Iranian planning and funding, sends a direct message to Tehran regarding Israel's capability to neutralize Hezbollah's most fortified assets. The IDF used over 1,100 tons of explosives to demolish the complex, which served as the headquarters for Hezbollah's Badr unit and was designed to facilitate a large-scale invasion of the Galilee. The military maintains high readiness ahead of the holiday period.
