IDF Completes Operation to Clear Hezbollah Tunnels in Southern Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that its forces have completed the clearing of Hezbollah's underground infrastructure in the Al-Taher mountain range in southern Lebanon. The operation, conducted by the 36th Armored Division, focused on neutralizing tunnels and subterranean facilities used by the Hezbollah militant group.
During the recent operation, IDF troops gained operational control over the Al-Taher ridge, both above and below ground. The forces systematically cleared the two underground routes within the area, dismantling Hezbollah's subterranean network. The IDF stated that its objective was to neutralize these infrastructures, thereby degrading Hezbollah's operational capabilities in the region.
The Al-Taher mountain range is a strategically important area in southern Lebanon, and its control is significant for both Hezbollah and Israel. The clearing of these tunnels is part of ongoing efforts by the IDF to secure Israel's northern border and prevent Hezbollah from establishing advanced military infrastructure near Israeli territory.
Further details regarding the specific methods used for neutralization or the extent of the cleared infrastructure were not immediately released. The IDF indicated that its operations in the region are ongoing, adapting to evolving threats.
