IDF soldiers completed this evening (Thursday) the takeover of the Ali Taher ridge in southern Lebanon and destroyed the terror infrastructure established there. The forces are now preparing for the next stage, while alertness across all combat arenas is at its peak ahead of Rosh Hashanah eve. In the background of the activity stands the Iranian threat, and the Iranian arena is ranked first in the priorities of the security establishment. Senior political officials are conveying direct messages: if Iran attacks, a severe war will break out. The security establishment maintains high alert also in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip, and Judea and Samaria. Authorities in the north updated about planned strikes and explosions on the Lebanon front in the coming hours. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the developments and said at the Western Wall that Iran is trying to rearm itself with nuclear weapons, and pledged that as long as he is prime minister, Iran will not have nuclear weapons. Netanyahu emphasized the offensive activity against Tehran's proxies, including the destruction of the Beaufort ridge and the Ali Taher ridge.
