The Lebanese daily An-Nahar has released footage from the Ali Taher ridge following an explosion that occurred overnight Thursday. The publication does not specify the cause or responsible party. This marks the first visual documentation of the site from a Lebanese media outlet since the blast.
On Thursday evening at 20:58 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that the IDF was preparing to demolish terror tunnels in the al-Taher area, according to Kan News. Shortly afterward, footage circulated on Israeli Telegram channels appearing to show the destruction of tunnels at the ridge. Subsequent reports included video from journalist Yair Goldblatt, security camera footage showing homes shaking from the blast, additional angles, and before-and-after imagery confirming the explosion. Seismic activity measuring 4.1 magnitude was also recorded in Lebanon following the blast.
The Ali Taher ridge, a strategic location in southern Lebanon, has been the focus of Israeli operations against Hezbollah's underground infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported. No casualties or damage have been reported.
The cause of the explosion and the identity of those involved remain unconfirmed. No official statement has been issued by Israeli or Lebanese authorities.
