IDF Completes Operation to Clear Hezbollah Infrastructure in Southern Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has concluded an operation to clear Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in the Ali Taher Ridge area of southern Lebanon, also known as the Beaufort Ridge. Forces from the 36th Division gained operational control of the area, both above and below ground, eliminating terrorists and forcing others to flee.
The ongoing activity focuses on neutralizing the cleared underground facilities, which included command centers, weapons storage rooms, generator rooms, living quarters, showers, and kitchens. These extensive facilities, built over two decades with funding and design from Iran, enabled terrorists to conduct operations and remain in the area for extended periods.
The IDF stated that the operation has neutralized Hezbollah's ability to execute terror plans against Israel from these specific underground routes. Following the operation, the IDF will re-establish defensive positions based on ongoing assessments.
IDF forces continue to operate in southern Lebanon, vowing to prevent Hezbollah from advancing terror plans and promising a strong response to any attempts to attack Israeli forces. The IDF reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon.
