Yes — according to Israeli officials. On September 3–4, 2026, the Israeli military said it had taken operational control of the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon and cleared Hezbollah fighters from tunnels there that included command centers and weapons storage.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said Friday the mission was completed and the tunnels were cleared; the Israel Defense Forces said some fighters were killed and others fled. The ridge sits about 10 kilometers (six miles) from the Israeli border near Nabatieh and the Litani River. Hezbollah did not confirm losing the highland, and independent verification of ground control remained limited at the time of the announcements.
