Israel eliminated dozens of Hezbollah and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps operatives in covert operations at the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to The Zioneer. The operations also saw Israeli forces expand their zone north of the Litani River. No timeline for the operations was specified.
The Zioneer reports that Israeli forces eliminated dozens of Hezbollah and IRGC operatives in covert operations at the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, while simultaneously expanding the IDF's operational sector north of the Litani River. The report, published Friday morning, did not specify the exact timeframe of the operations.
The Ali al-Taher ridge has been a focal point of IDF activity for months. As The Zioneer has previously covered, the ridge contains a major subterranean Hezbollah command complex, and dozens of operatives were reported trapped there as early as June. More recent reports indicated the presence of IRGC personnel alongside Hezbollah fighters in the underground network, and the IDF had tightened a siege around the complex as of early August.
The latest development suggests a significant escalation in the scale and scope of Israeli operations in the area, expanding north of the Litani River — a key security milestone.
The claim of IRGC casualties,if confirmed, would mark a direct engagement with Iranian personnel on the ground.
