Israel Destroys Hezbollah Tunnels in Southern Lebanon, Triggering 4.1-Magnitude Tremor
Israeli forces demolished a major Hezbollah underground tunnel network beneath the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, using over 1,100 tonnes of explosives. The operation, confirmed by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Katz, destroyed tunnels extending more than two kilometers, including a command center of Hezbollah's Badr unit. The blasts triggered a 4.1-magnitude artificial earthquake felt across southern Lebanon. Israel stated the destruction secured operational control over the ridge and vowed to maintain a security zone to prevent Hezbollah's return.
