Israel Announces Clearing of Hezbollah Tunnels in Southern Lebanon Ridge

The Israeli military has announced that it has cleared Hezbollah fighters from tunnels beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated the mission was completed, with some Hezbollah fighters eliminated and others having fled. This development comes despite a ceasefire announced in June and follows reports that Iran had warned the United States against an Israeli assault on the ridge.
