IDF Seizes Hezbollah's 'City of Refuge': A Significant Achievement in the Northern Conflict
IDF forces have completed the seizure of an extensive underground complex that served as a 'city of refuge' for Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. The move comes amid ongoing security tensions and threats from Iran to retaliate against Israeli operations.

Significant Operational Achievement in Lebanon
As part of the ongoing operational activity in the northern sector, IDF forces have successfully seized a fortified underground complex dubbed Hezbollah's 'city of refuge.' According to reports from Maariv, this was a strategic point used by the organization for combat management, storing weaponry, and hiding from airstrikes.
The Iranian Response and Regional Tensions
The seizure of the complex, along with the clearing of the Ali al-Tahar ridge, has drawn sharp reactions from Iranian officials, who are threatening a military response. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the clearing of the ridge, emphasizing that it is a point that 'no longer threatens us,' as part of the Israeli effort to create a new security reality in southern Lebanon.
The Complexity of Negotiations
The military activity is taking place alongside complex diplomatic efforts. As published in Israel Hayom, Israel continues to insist in negotiations that 'the war is not over,' and refuses to allow the population to return to certain areas in southern Lebanon without a broad and comprehensive security arrangement that will ensure the safety of northern residents. The situation on the ground remains explosive, with all parties—Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah, the US, and Iran—locked in a political and security deadlock, as analyzed in Maariv.
