A detailed report by an Iranian-backed analyst, citing Hezbollah sources, describes the 'Imad 4' underground facility on the Ali Taher ridge as a large, fortified complex including rocket launch capabilities, command posts, and a field hospital. The report claims Israel struck the ridge over 300 times without success. The IDF and Israeli sources have not confirmed the claim.
An Iranian-backed analyst has published a detailed description of Hezbollah's 'Imad 4' underground base on the Ali Taher ridge, saying it includes command posts and a field hospital. The report, released Sunday morning, is the latest in a series of assessments by analysts and sources that have progressively identified the complex — initially referred to as 'Imad 5' on Sunday at 06:00 Jerusalem, then re-evaluated as 'Imad 4' in subsequent reports. The analyst claims Israel struck the ridge over 300 times without success, a claim the IDF has not confirmed.
The thread began Sunday at 06:00 when military analyst Hananel Aviv assessed that the 'Imad 5' underground launcher was on the ridge. Within hours, Lebanese sources cited by Aviv re-identified the site as the larger 'Imad 4' facility, with independent command systems and an underground field hospital — mirrored in this latest Iranian-backed account. The IDF confirmed at 08:55 that dozens of Hezbollah operatives are trapped in the 'Imad 4' tunnel network, and military analysts have assessed that capturing the ridge would be a severe blow to Hezbollah's capabilities.
As The Zioneer reported Saturday, the 'Imad 4' complex is an IRGC-funded 'missile city' built into bedrock over 12 years. Hezbollah has denied that its forces are encircled, as noted in a Saturday evening report. The specific claim of 300 unsuccessful Israeli strikes remains unverified, with no Israeli military source commenting on it.
