Israel Says It Has Seized Control of Strategic Ridge in Southern Lebanon
Israel's Defence Ministry has asserted operational control over the Ali al-Taher ridge, a highland area described as strategically significant; Hezbollah has not yet responded to the claim.
Israel's Ministry of Defence has claimed operational control over the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, according to a report by Al Jazeera published Friday.
The ridge is described in the report as a strategically important highland area, though the Israeli ministry's statement did not immediately provide further detail on the scope or timing of the claimed takeover.
Al Jazeera reported that Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group and political party that operates in the area, had not issued a comment on Israel's assertion at the time of publication.
The claim comes amid ongoing tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, a region that has seen repeated military activity in recent years involving Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
Further details on the reported operation, including independent verification of the claim, have not been made available. This report will be updated as more information becomes accessible.
