Israel Clears Hezbollah Tunnels in Lebanon | US News

Israel claims victory in clearing Hezbollah tunnels beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, asserting full operational control after eliminating or driving out militants — despite a ceasefire that’s been in place since June. The ridge, long a flashpoint and rumored to house an underground Hezbollah command center, had drawn warnings from Iran to the U.S. about potential retaliation. With no official Hezbollah response and verification difficult, Israel’s intensified operations since March continue. Meanwhile, four detainees are handed over to Lebanon via Red Cross as part of U.S.-brokered confidence-building efforts — all reportedly unlinked to militant groups. Lebanese President Aoun hints at more releases to come, while Israel also signals it may return remains of Jewish figures killed in Lebanon during the 1980s — though details remain pending.
