IDF Chief Flags Saturated Hezbollah Infrastructure at Beaufort Ridge

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, visiting soldiers in southern Lebanon, said Hezbollah is exhausted and Israel now controls key terrain around Beaufort Ridge, describing it as saturated with Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure including underground tunnels. He stressed Lebanon's ceasefire obligations to clear Hezbollah infrastructure and warned Israel will continue decisive offensive actions if the ceasefire is violated. Netanyahu denied reports that Trump blocked Israeli operations and said Lebanon talks continue, including a pilot program for the Lebanese Armed Forces to verify Hezbollah clearance.

Israeli Forces Obliterate Hezbollah Tunnel Network Near Border

The Israel Defense Forces said they destroyed an underground Hezbollah complex in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, including a tunnel over 200 meters long that housed hundreds of weapons and multiple rocket silos built with Iranian assistance. The operation, conducted after Israel notified the United States, follows a US-brokered framework aimed at disarming Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. Israel says it will keep forces in the security zone and continue striking Hezbollah infrastructure to protect northern communities.

Hezbollah Rejects US‑Brokered Israel–Lebanon Framework Amid Border Strikes

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem denounced the Washington-brokered framework linking a ceasefire with Hezbollah disarmament, saying Hezbollah will continue to resist as Israeli strikes hit southern Lebanon and casualties rise. Protests followed in Beirut, and the Lebanese army urged restraint. The agreement does not mandate an immediate withdrawal but is framed as a path to normalisation and future direct talks, with some Lebanese officials praising it as progress while others warn it could empower Israel if Hezbollah remains armed. Israel signaled a potential extended stay in the security zone, and the toll from the conflict has surpassed 4,246 killed and 12,190 wounded since March.

Residents recount damaged homes, killings, and detentions, with towns like Jdeidat Marjayoun and Halta divided over sheltering displaced neighbors, illustrating fragility and calls for Israel’s withdrawal amid a war that risks eroding long‑standing coexistence.

Earlier, the IDF intercepted Hezbollah rockets toward an Israeli post and destroyed the rocket launcher, and also struck a suspicious vehicle near active troops.

Satellite Imagery Documents Widespread Destruction Along Southern Lebanon Border

PlanetScope imagery analyzed by Bellingcat shows that at least 46 of 54 towns within the IDF’s Yellow Line in southern Lebanon have been heavily damaged or destroyed over roughly the first two months of the US-Israeli war against Iran, with much of the destruction occurring in recent weeks. The images indicate demolitions carried out with explosives or heavy equipment, affecting border towns such as Naqoura and Kfar Kila, and reflect ongoing damage amid a fragile ceasefire.

Satellite evidence accuses Israel of erasing Bint Jbeil to carve a buffer zone

An Al Jazeera Arabic visual investigation using satellite imagery and open-source data says Israel’s campaign in southern Lebanon is systematically destroying civilian homes and infrastructure—centered on Bint Jbeil—with more than 70% of the city destroyed and about 3,000 housing units levelled, as experts warn of a deliberate effort to empty residential geography and create a buffer zone, while Hezbollah vows to resist and international intervention is urged.

Israel Eyes Long-Term Control in Southern Lebanon Amid Border War

Amid ongoing fighting with Hezbollah, some Israelis along the northern border advocate a long-term security strategy that could involve settling southern Lebanon and depopulating nearby Lebanese areas, a goal tied to the fringe Uri Tzafon movement and supported by border residents who fear displacement but push for a stronger Israeli footprint; others warn the plan is impractical and costly while the war continues.
