New phase in southern Lebanon: IDF advances in destroying Hezbollah infrastructure

The IDF has entered a new phase of fighting in southern Lebanon, completing the clearance of the Ali Taher ridge and the destruction of Hezbollah infrastructure in the area. Forces are being redeployed along the "Yellow Line" to establish a new outpost system, while thinning out troops to allow reserve soldiers to rotate out. Meanwhile, Lebanese sources report that Hezbollah has transferred weapons to villages west of the Yellow Line.

The IDF has entered a new phase of fighting in southern Lebanon, after completing the clearance of the Ali Taher ridge and the destruction of Hezbollah infrastructure in the "Yellow Line" area. The forces completed a brigade-level raid in the al-Mansouri area, south of Tyre, where another Hezbollah compound was destroyed. The military is now redeploying along the Yellow Line to establish a new outpost system, which will serve the forces deployed in the field and strengthen the defense of northern residents. The move includes a thinning of forces, allowing reserve soldiers leaving the area to rest and potentially slightly shortening the expected reserve duty days in the coming year. Meanwhile, Lebanese military sources told the Emirati site "Aram News" that Hezbollah has transferred quantities of precision missiles, defense systems, and weapons to villages west of the Yellow Line, in the area south of the Litani River. This comes against the backdrop of the loss of strategic sites and tunnels used for storing weapons and moving fighters. A senior Lebanese source said the organization is facing a "strategic problem" after the exposure of mountain routes and passages and the destruction of tunnels made it difficult to carry out attacks against Israeli forces.
