Israel says it destroyed key Hezbollah tunnels in southern Lebanon
Israel's military says it has destroyed a network of Hezbollah tunnels on the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon. Reports citing Israeli sources say dozens of bodies of Hezbollah fighters were found inside the tunnel complex.
Why It Matters
The ridge is described as a strategic position, so claims of neutralising tunnel infrastructure there could represent a meaningful shift in control on that front. The reported discovery of numerous bodies, if confirmed, would indicate substantial militant casualties tied to the operation.
