Israel Seizes Strategic Ridge in Lebanon, Vows Harsh Response to Incursions
The Israeli military has taken control of the strategic Ali Taher ridge in Lebanon, following operations that eliminated Hezbollah militants and destroyed underground infrastructure. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the completion of operational preparations to hold the territory, stating that any attempts by militants or other forces to return would be met with severe force, with anyone approaching the ridge facing elimination.
The Ali Taher ridge is part of Israel's security zone in Lebanon, a region spanning 700 square kilometers from the coast, including the historic Beaufort Castle, to the Mount Hermon area. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz have previously emphasized that Israeli troops will not withdraw from this security zone.
Israel's leadership maintains a firm stance, asserting that the army will not retreat or redeploy until Hezbollah is fully disarmed throughout Lebanon. The Israeli military plans to continue operations in the region with determination, targeting militants, destroying Hezbollah's infrastructure, and neutralizing any threats to its soldiers.
