Vast quantities of weapons from there. Organized and financed by Iran for years,” Netanyahu said on video. “You see here an anti-aircraft gun. There are missiles here. There are landmines here, computers and many other things. Everything has been brought out – everything is in our hands.”Lebanon’s state news agency NNA said the Israeli military carried out a powerful blast at the ridge, with tremors and the sound of the explosion felt across Nabatieh and surrounding areas.The Israeli military said its forces had established “operational control” over the ridge, both above and below ground, before dismantling the infrastructure. The network extended for more than 2 km (1.24 miles) and contained dozens of rockets, missiles and drones, as well as anti-tank missiles, mines and explosive devices, it said.The military said a central command complex belonging to Hezbollah’s Badr unit was located within the underground infrastructure. The complex contained command centers, weapons storage rooms and living quarters that allowed fighters to remain underground for extended periods, it said.The Ali al-Taher ridge, about 15 km (10 miles) from the Israeli border, has become one of the most contested areas of the war between Israel and Hezbollah. Hezbollah is believed to have built an underground command center and weapons stores there, according to Lebanese security sources who spoke to Reuters in July.The ridge has been one of Israel’s main operational focuses and lies within an expanded, self-declared Israeli buffer zone in southern Lebanon.
