**Deck**: Israel’s military reports that it has destroyed Hezbollah’s Ali al‑Taher Ridge complex in Lebanon, describing it as an underground network more than 2 km long packed with weapons, living areas and command centers for the group’s Badr unit.

Israel’s military says it has taken out a key piece of Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure along the Lebanon front.

According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the Ali al‑Taher Ridge complex in Lebanon has been destroyed. The IDF describes the site as an underground facility stretching more than two kilometers.

The complex, by the IDF’s account, contained drones, missiles, rockets, small arms and other weapons, as well as living spaces and command centers. Israeli officials say it served as a principal enabler for Hezbollah’s Badr unit in the area.

If the site has been destroyed to the extent Israel claims, Hezbollah loses a hardened node for storing weapons, housing fighters and coordinating operations in a protected environment below ground.

The strike highlights how much of the fighting capacity on this front is buried in tunnel systems rather than visible on the surface, making it harder for civilians to grasp where the main military targets lie.

Signals to watch now include any independent imagery that supports the IDF’s description of the site, Hezbollah’s military response, and whether Israel points to other similar complexes as justification for continued or expanded operations along the border.
