The Lebanese outlet Al-Jadeed aired a video, which it says is circulating online, showing IDF armored vehicles between Al-Khardali and Kfar Tabnit — implying Israeli forces are already inside Kfar Tabnit, at the foot of the Ali al-Taher ridge overlooking Nabatieh. The report is a single Lebanese media source; the IDF has not commented.
The Lebanese broadcaster Al-Jadeed published a video, which it describes as "circulating online," showing what it identifies as IDF armored vehicles operating between the town of Al-Khardali and the village of Kfar Tabnit — roughly 2 km south of Nabatieh at the foot of the Ali al-Taher ridge. The footage, whose authenticity has not been independently verified, is presented as evidence that Israeli ground forces have entered Kfar Tabnit itself.
As The Zioneer reported moments earlier (10:47 Jerusalem), a single Lebanese report had signaled that IDF troops were possibly advancing into Tebnit (Kafr Tibnit). The new video material, if authentic, would mark the closest Israeli forces have been reported to Nabatieh proper in this ground operation — a point that remains unconfirmed by the IDF.
Kfar Tabnit sits directly below the Ali al-Taher ridge, a tactically significant high-ground position that commands a direct line of sight over Nabatieh and the surrounding valley. The ridge has been a stated objective of the IDF's southern Lebanon ground offensive, as noted in background reporting from June 7 (The Zioneer). No official statement from the IDF has been issued at this time.
