The IDF reported that a commando force identified Hezbollah operatives on motorcycles in the Al-Aqida area, near Israeli forces, and carried out a precise strike on the cell, according to the military spokesperson. This update, published at Sunday 20:31 Jerusalem, follows a sequence of IDF actions in the Ali al-Taher ridge area on Saturday. The strike comes within hours of an earlier IDF artillery barrage and subsequent airstrikes in the same southern Lebanon sector.
On Saturday, 17:03 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that IDF artillery had targeted Deir Seryan, Qantara, and the Ali AlTaher hills near Nabatiye since the morning. Subsequently, Lebanese media reported an IAF airstrike between Kfar Tebnit and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, near the Ali Taher ridge, according to a single source. Shortly after, the IDF confirmed a strike on a Hezbollah cell on motorcycles near the Security Zone at the Ali al-Taher ridge, releasing footage of the operation. The cell's activity was described as posing a threat to Israeli forces. The latest report adds that the identification was made by a commando force before the strike.
As The Zioneer has reported, the Ali al-Taher ridge area has been a focus of IDF activity, with artillery and airstrikes targeting Hezbollah positions and operatives in the region. The ongoing operations reflect Israel's stated commitment to countering threats from southern Lebanon.
It remains unclear whether the strike on the motorcycle cell resulted in casualties, and no further details on the operatives' identities or the extent of the cell's threat have been released.
