The IDF said Division 36 completed the destruction of more than two kilometers of Hezbollah tunnels at Ali al-Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon on Thursday. Troops found dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles and unmanned aircraft, dozens of anti-tank missiles, hundreds of mines and explosive devices, and machine guns. The complex included the Badr Unit’s central command site, operations and weapons rooms, and living quarters. The military said Iran funded and planned the site over two decades, and that eliminating it prevents Hezbollah from using the tunnels to plan attacks against Israeli civilians and troops.
