Northern residents warned: Loud explosion tonight, open windows to prevent shattering

Residents of Metula and Misgav Am were asked to open windows ahead of a powerful explosion tonight in the Ramim Ridge, against the backdrop of the ceasefire violation in Lebanon and Hezbollah's launch of an explosive drone at an IDF engineering vehicle. The military has marked the Ali Taher ridge tunnels as a possible target for attack.

Residents of Metula and Misgav Am received an update this evening (Thursday) that during the night, between 23:00 and 1:00, a loud explosion will be heard in the Ramim Ridge area, the Hula Valley, and northern Golan. They were asked to open windows to prevent them from shattering. The background: Yesterday it was revealed by ynet that the IDF is considering attacking the Ali Taher ridge tunnels, where dozens of Hezbollah terrorists are holed up, in response to the launch of an explosive drone at an IDF engineering vehicle this week – a violation of the ceasefire in Lebanon. The military is awaiting a political decision. Blowing up the tunnels could lead to a return to fighting. The Ali Taher ridge, near Nabatieh, is considered a Hezbollah stronghold and an underground fortified complex built with Iranian assistance. Security officials emphasized that there must be no withdrawal from there.
