Israel says it captured strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon
–
Neutral summary
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the military has cleared Hezbollah fighters from tunnels under the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, calling it “an important step” toward disarming the group. The military said the underground infrastructure was built over about two decades and was planned and funded by Iran. Katz also said Israel will not withdraw troops from Lebanon until Hezbollah is fully disarmed. Hezbollah did not confirm the loss of the ridge and dismissed the Israeli announcement as an electoral maneuver by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
