Security correspondent Yair Goldblatt reports that the IDF is carrying out extensive artillery strikes against the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, with the bombardment described as prolonged. The ridge has been a frequent target of Israeli ground operations in recent weeks.
Security correspondent Yair Goldblatt reported at approximately 02:54 Jerusalem early Sunday that the IDF is conducting a sustained, extensive artillery barrage targeting the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. The bombardment is described as prolonged and ongoing.
The ridgeline has been a repeated focus of Israeli operations. As The Zioneer reported on Monday, August 10, the IDF launched overnight airstrikes and artillery fire on the ridge and nearby villages after a Hezbollah explosive drone targeted Israeli forces in the area. Lebanese sources and Israeli media reported that those strikes killed at least seven people, with assessments indicating the ridge houses a Hezbollah underground facility. Earlier background reports by The Zioneer on July 8 and July 24 documented IDF flares, heavy artillery, and combined strikes on the ridge.
Goldblatt’s report did not specify the target or provide casualty figures. The IDF has not officially commented on the current barrage.
