Israeli forces demolished Hezbollah underground infrastructure on Ali Tahr Ridge in southern Lebanon, with reports of more than 1,100 tons of explosives and several kilometres of tunnels destroyed. An Israeli source said about 50 Hezbollah operatives were present in the command complex when it was detonated and most were killed.
Verification: Probable
Evidence: Israeli source says about 50 Hezbollah operatives were in the Ali Tahr Ridge complex when it was detonated
Demolition previously aligned across OSINT monitors and official Israeli video; the figure of about 50 operatives comes from a single Israeli source via an OSINT monitor and is not independently corroborated. Iran presence inside the complex was denied by that source.
