Israel reports destruction of Hezbollah tunnel infrastructure in Al-Taher, South Lebanon, with a 4.1 magnitude earthquake detected, likely from the detonations. This marks a continuation of cross-border operations, but the seismic signature suggests large-scale demolition, potentially escalating the conflict.

Israel Completes Security Zone, Destroys Hezbollah Underground Infrastructure in Southern Lebanon
Israeli forces have completed operations to establish a security zone in southern Lebanon, destroying extensive Hezbollah underground infrastructure, including tunnel networks, particularly on the Ali Taher Ridge. This operation, potentially named 'Tahrir,' involved large-scale demolitions causing seismic activity, and occurred despite a US-brokered framework agreement. The explicit mention of 'completing' the security zone suggests a consolidation of gains, though Hezbollah is reportedly urging Iranian intervention.
