Israel claims ‘operational control’ of Lebanon’s Ali Taher, a rare flashpoint after the ceasefire

Israel claimed ‘operational control’ of Lebanon’s Ali Taher and a network of tunnels beneath it, in a rare flashpoint after the ceasefire. Israel’s military said Hezbollah, a militant group backed by Iran, had used the tunnels to shelter its fighters, and weapons, and had repeatedly attacked Israeli forces in the area with drones. It is unclear how far Israel’s control extends. There has been no official statement from Hezbollah since Israel’s announcement. (AP video shot by: Malak Harb)
