Analysis of satellite imagery indicates Israeli forces have captured Kfar Tebnit and the Ali al-Taher ridge on the Nabatieh plain, as well as the villages of Kounine, Beit Yahoun, and Majdal Zoun in adjacent sectors, according to reports circulating on regional channels. The images suggest the IDF is expanding its ground footprint on multiple axes in southern Lebanon, corroborating earlier unconfirmed reports of advances in these areas.
The new satellite-imagery analysis, drawn from multiple regional monitoring sources on Monday, shows the IDF's ground presence has solidified in four southern Lebanese villages and on a key ridgeline. The images indicate forces are holding Kfar Tebnit (Tabnit) and the Ali al-Taher ridge just north of the Beaufort Castle, which overlooks the city of Nabatieh, as well as the villages of Kounine and Beit Yahoun in the Tebnin salient and Majdal Zoun in the western sector.
As The Zioneer reported on June 13, earlier bulletins noted that IDF forces had been observed at the outskirts of Nabatieh and on the Ali Taher Ridge, and Hezbollah itself implicitly acknowledged Israeli troops at the edge of Tebnit on June 13. The new imagery appears to confirm that what were then unconfirmed reports of a temporary presence or probing advance have become a lasting ground hold across multiple sectors.
The satellite confirmation bridges several prior reports: footage from Lebanese outlet Al-Jadeed on June 11 showed IDF armor between Al-Khardali and Kfar Tabnit, and a June 7 Lebanese report described a push toward the Nabatieh ridge — both now appear to have been accurate indicators of the operation's scale. The IDF has not formally commented on these latest images, but the pattern of multiple independent visual records converging on the same positions and timestamps moves the confidence from developing single-source reports to strong multi-source corroboration.
