Katz vows to target anyone approaching Ali Taher Heights

Enemy media: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said anyone approaching the Ali Taher Heights will be eliminated, after the Israeli army destroyed Hezbollah tunnels beneath the hill last week. He said the IDF withdrew troops from the hill on Thursday to blow up the underground facility, and later said it would reorganize its deployment in the area while remaining in control of the ridge through surveillance and firepower. Katz added that the IDF is operationally preparing to control the ridge and prevent any attempt by Hezbollah or any other party to return and establish itself there, saying it remains part of Israel's security zone in Lebanon and that the army will not withdraw or redeploy until Hezbollah is disarmed throughout Lebanon.
