IDF Destroys Extensive Iranian Military Infrastructure in Southern Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Monday night detonated underground military infrastructure in the Al-Taher heights of southern Lebanon, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as the largest Iranian military site outside of Iran. The underground complex extended over two kilometers and contained dozens of rockets, missiles, drones, anti-tank missiles, machine guns, and hundreds of mines and explosive devices. Over 1,100 tons of explosives were used in the demolition, causing a localized tremor measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale. Residents in northern Israel were reportedly notified in advance of the operation.
According to Kan News correspondent Itay Blumenthal, Israel conveyed a warning to Hezbollah and Iran that any retaliatory fire against the Al-Taher site would be met with a strong response from the IDF. The operation targeted a significant Iranian military installation, highlighting escalating tensions in the region.
