Lebanese channels report continued movement of Israeli military vehicles toward the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, accompanied by additional Hezbollah fire at the force. The reports are unverified by the IDF.
Lebanese channels reported Friday night that Israeli military vehicles continued advancing toward the Ali al-Taher ridge, overlooking Nabatieh in southern Lebanon, with Hezbollah firing at the force a second time. The ridge has been a focal point of Israeli ground activity in recent days, as the IDF attempts to secure the strategic high ground. Israeli artillery has been pounding the area heavily. The reports remain unverified by the IDF.
The Ali al-Taher ridge has seen repeated exchanges this week. On Monday, Lebanese sources reported Hezbollah fired two anti-tank missiles at an advancing IDF force near Givat Ali al-Taher. Later that night, Hezbollah claimed rocket fire at IDF forces on a new axis in the western sector. On Friday morning, the group claimed it hit Israeli vehicles and prevented an advance near the village of Tibnah. The IDF has not publicly confirmed any of these claims.
The current report from Friday night suggests the advance toward the ridge is ongoing, with Hezbollah continuing to contest it. No casualty figures or Israeli confirmation are yet available.
