Lebanese media reports an Israeli airstrike between Kfar Tebnit and Nabatieh al-Fawqa, near the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the strike, but the military has previously said it continues to operate at the Ali Taher ridge, beneath which Hezbollah has a massive underground complex, where some 30 operatives are holed up.

The military has said it will “not allow Hezbollah terrorists to exit the underground tunnel network or move in the area of the ridge.”
