Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued an official denial of social media reports claiming that their terrorists are being held in tunnels in the Ali Taher ridge after IDF forces took control of the ridge. In the organization's statement, it claimed that only 48 Hezbollah terrorists were in the two tunnels breached by the Israeli military, and that 8 of them fell as martyrs. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz sent a harsh warning to Lebanon, stating that anyone approaching the Ali Taher ridge would be destroyed. Katz emphasized that the ridge is part of Israel's security line in Lebanon, covering 700 square kilometers, and that the IDF will not withdraw or redeploy until Hezbollah is disarmed throughout Lebanon. The article reflects a hawkish stance supporting Israeli security policy, using the term "terrorist organization" to describe the IRGC and Hezbollah.
