Overview
- The Israeli military said a precision aerial strike at Ali al-Taher Ridge eliminated a Hezbollah operative who was emerging from an access shaft in underground infrastructure.
- In a separate engagement the IDF reported a strike on a vehicle that killed a person it said posed an immediate threat to soldiers operating in the Security Zone.
- Golani Brigade troops operating under the 36th Division located weapons storehouses that the IDF says contained launchers, machine guns, explosive devices and missiles intended for use against soldiers and civilians.
- Troops of the 551st Brigade demolished two tunnels in Majdal Zoun that the IDF described as roughly 200 meters long and about 20 meters deep, part of broader efforts to remove subterranean threats.
- The military says it will continue these combined ground and air operations to prevent attacks, while the fighting raises diplomatic strain over a U.S.-backed withdrawal and risks further civilian displacement.
