Iran has conveyed a warning to Israel about the start of a new war in the event of a 'fatal mistake' in Lebanon. Through a direct channel, Tehran stated that an IDF attack on the Ali Taher ridge area would provoke a retaliatory strike on Israeli territory. This was reported by Al Jazeera. Hezbollah, in turn, warned that continued IDF operations in the area could lead to the collapse of the ceasefire. Lebanese media, citing a high-ranking security source, report that Israel is preparing an operation to establish control over the Ali Taher ridge and has no intention of abandoning these plans. According to Lebanese sources, the issue concerns the underground complex 'Emad-4', where dozens of Hezbollah fighters and possibly military advisors from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have been stationed for about two months. Hezbollah continues to build a tunnel network in the area. Earlier, Kursor reported that fighters remaining in the blocked complex have faced difficulties due to restricted access to water.
