The security establishment is reportedly awaiting a political decision to approve the destruction of the terror infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. The ridge has been a repeated target of Israeli operations, with earlier reports indicating political limits on such demolitions.
The security establishment is awaiting a political green light to destroy the terror infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to a report. The decision on whether to proceed with demolition rests with the political echelon.
The ridge has been a focal point of Israeli operations for weeks. The Zioneer previously reported on June 24 that significant terror infrastructure in southern Lebanon was not destroyed due to a political constraint, with forces having begun preparations before the operation was halted. A June 17 report noted that the IDF had been ordered to restrict offensive operations in the area, with destruction of major infrastructure requiring American approval.
The Ali al-Taher ridge has been repeatedly targeted: The Zioneer reported on July 8 that the IDF fired flares and heavy artillery at the ridge, and on June 28 that new subterranean compounds were detected there, attributed to Iranian military engineering.
The current report does not specify a timeline for the political decision, and the infrastructure remains in place pending approval.
