The Israeli military says it has halted fire elsewhere in Lebanon but continues operations in its declared 'security zone' in the south, focusing on a major Hezbollah tunnel system beneath the Ali Taher ridge near Nabatieh. The IDF describes the underground site as the 'nerve center' of Hezbollah's Badr regional division, with dozens of operatives still holed up and fighting ongoing above and below ground. On Thursday, the IDF published an updated map of the 'forward defense area' that now includes Ali Taher, which was originally not part of the security zone, along with the Majdal Zoun area. The IDF says it will still work to demolish Hezbollah infrastructure within the zone and strike 'immediate threats' beyond it.
