At 20:46 Thursday, Lebanese channels reported three UAV strikes in the village of Tabnit, at the foot of the Ali al-Taher ridge in the Nabatieh district, describing a "noticeable escalation" in the sector. The report is from a single Lebanese outlet; the IDF has not commented and no casualty figures are available. The strikes come hours after a separate UAV strike on a Hezbollah operative at Ali al-Taher, reported by Lebanese channels at 20:33 after a self-imposed delay.
Earlier today, at 17:32 Jerusalem, the IDF confirmed it struck and killed a Hezbollah operative who emerged from an underground shaft at the Ali al-Taher Ridge, with the military releasing video footage and stating that some 30 operatives remain trapped in the underground complex. Lebanese channels later reported at 20:33 that a UAV strike had been carried out at 14:50 in the wooded area of Ali al-Taher, noting they had delayed reporting until after the IDF announcement.
The Tabnit and Ali al-Taher area has been a focal point for weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, Lebanese media video indicated IDF forces entering Kfar Tabnit. Satellite imagery analyzed on June 14 showed the IDF had captured the village of Kfar Tebnit and the Ali al-Taher ridge. Subsequent reports on June 14 described IDF ground forces advancing on multiple axes in the sector, and on June 19 footage showed pre-dawn strikes in Tebnit and Har Ali Taher.
It remains unclear whether the three strikes reported tonight are a new wave of operations or a delayed account of earlier activity. The IDF has not commented on the latest report. No details on targets or casualties are available.
