Israel destroys Hezbollah underground complex at Ali al-Taher ridge, triggering 4.1-magnitude tremor
–
Neutral summary
The Israeli military demolished an extensive underground Hezbollah complex beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. The blast, caused by more than 1,100 tonnes of explosives, registered as a 4.1-magnitude tremor with the US Geological Survey. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz said the operation completed the establishment of a “security zone” in the area, with the military ruling out withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Israeli sources reported that dozens of Hezbollah operatives were killed in the strike, while denying the presence of Iranian forces at the site.
