Amidst the ongoing tensions in West Asia, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched the deadliest and deadliest attack on Hezbollah's military infrastructure in southern Lebanon. The Israeli Army has completely destroyed Hezbollah's more than two kilometer long modern underground tunnel network under the strategically important Ali al-Taher Ridge with massive explosives. This explosion was so powerful and intense that it shook the land of Nabatieh and the entire southern Lebanon. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS) and local reports, the blasts used to blow up the tunnel caused a seismic tremor measuring 4.1 on the Richter scale. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released the video of this operation on social media and demonstrated it outside the borders of Iran. "largest outpost" He said that the Army has successfully completed its strategic mission. Weapons warehouse found inside the tunnel: Iranian rockets and deadly drones recovered According to the Israeli army, this network spread under Ali al-Taher hill was not just an ordinary tunnel, but a huge military city built under the ground. After the army established control both above and below ground, when it conducted an intensive search operation inside it, a huge cache of weapons was recovered from there: Dozens of Iranian rockets and missiles: Dozens of modern long and medium range rockets and missiles were found in the depot of the tunnel, which were kept ready to be fired directly on Israeli cities. Explosive Kamikaze Drones (UAVs): Dozens of Iranian-made suicide and attack drones were found with launch pads inside the tunnel. Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGM): Modern Russian and Iranian anti-tank missiles, mines and large stocks of explosive materials were recovered to target Israeli armored vehicles. Command Center and Living Quarters: This tunnel was the central command center of Hezbollah's elite 'Badr Unit'. The tunnel had ventilation, sleeping quarters, modern communication system, kitchen and medical facilities for the terrorists to hide for weeks. Two Decades of Iranian Funding and the Elimination of Hezbollah's 'Badr Unit' According to IDF officials and military analysts, this 2 kilometer long underground fortress was built under Iranian funding, engineering and technical supervision during the last 20 years (two decades). The strategic base was under Hezbollah's Badr Division, which commands military operations throughout southern Lebanon from north of the Litani River to Sidon. Ali al-Taher Ridge is located just 15 kilometers from the Israeli border. From this elevated position, Hezbollah kept a direct eye on the settlements of northern Israel and used guerrilla tactics of surprise attacks and disappearances through underground shafts. The bombing of this entire base by Israel has dealt a major blow to Hezbollah's operational capability. Lebanon shaken by 4.1 magnitude tremor, new boil in regional tensions Lebanon's state news agency (NNA) has confirmed that massive controlled explosions were carried out by the Israeli military on Ali al-Taher hill on the outskirts of Nabatieh al-Fouka, causing the windows of buildings and the ground to tremble several kilometers away. This action has taken place at a time when diplomatic discussions were going on at the international level regarding ceasefire and reducing tension on the border. Iran recently warned that any major attack on Hezbollah positions on the Ali al-Taher Ridge would be met with a strong response. After this aggressive underground action by Israel and such large-scale destruction, there is a serious fear that a new round of rocket attacks and retaliatory air strikes will start once again on the border.
