IDF Maglan (Unit 212) reconnaissance special operations forces have reportedly entered Hezbollah tunnel complexes on the strategic Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to The Zioneer. The development follows reports earlier Wednesday that Maglan and Commando Brigade fighters had captured the underground network.
Maglan (Unit 212) reconnaissance commandos have reportedly entered Hezbollah's tunnel network on the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to The Zioneer. The move follows the earlier capture of the tunnel complex by Maglan and Commando Brigade forces reported Wednesday at 12:23 Jerusalem time.
The Ali Taher ridge has been a focal point of IDF ground operations for weeks. As The Zioneer has documented, Israeli forces have been systematically dismantling Hezbollah underground infrastructure there, including command centers, anti-tank launchers, and drones found inside the tunnels. In recent days, the IDF also tightened a siege on Hezbollah operatives believed trapped in the network.
It remains unclear whether the reported entry into the tunnels marks a full clearance operation or a reconnaissance probe. No official IDF statement has been issued, and casualty figures or the presence of enemy operatives inside have not been confirmed.
