Foreign Affairs: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday that the Israeli army had destroyed Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher mountain range in southern Lebanon, adding that the operation had completed the creation of a security zone in the area.
According to Reuters published on September 11, 2026, in a joint statement, the two officials said that Israeli forces would remain in the area to prevent the Iranian-linked Hezbollah militant group from re-establishing its presence and rebuilding its capabilities.
The Ali al-Taher mountain range, located about 15 kilometers (10 miles) from the Israeli border, has been one of the most intense fighting areas in the war between Israel and Hezbollah. According to Lebanese security sources who spoke to Reuters in July, Hezbollah is believed to have built an underground command center and weapons depot there.
Lebanese state news agency (NNA) reported that the Israeli army carried out a powerful explosion on the ridge, causing tremors and explosions to be heard as far as Nabatieh and the surrounding area.
