Israel plans to demolish Ali al-Taher hill as operations expand in southern Lebanon

Israel is preparing to demolish Ali al-Taher hill in southern Lebanon within days, according to a military official quoted in the report. The move forms part of an effort to deepen control over highlands and hills as Israeli operations expand beyond what Israel calls the Yellow Line.

Military activity has intensified around the hill. The official said resolving the issue surrounding Ali al-Taher could help move forward the diplomatic track with Lebanon.

The Ali al-Taher heights and Beaufort Castle are also under close attention. The Israeli army is preparing what it described as a cautious and precise engineering operation in the area. The operation is expected to last several days and is being carried out under strict directives from the Northern Command.

The report said Israel’s security establishment has identified Nabatieh and its surrounding area as a new strategic target. The army is expanding its attacks as it broadens operations across southern Lebanon.
