Israel’s military destroyed a network of Hezbollah tunnels beneath the Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon on Thursday, triggering a 4.1-magnitude tremor recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey.

A joint statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz called the tunnels “strategic terrorist infrastructure built over two decades with Iranian funding and planning.” The demolition “completes the achievement of operational control over the Ali al-Taher ridge—above and below ground,” the statement said .

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported a “massive explosion” on the ridge in the Nabatieh region, “causing tremors and a powerful rumble.” AFP journalists in southern Lebanon heard “huge explosions” on Thursday evening, and a resident in Majayoun said, “We were sitting there and everything shook” .

The Israeli army said the underground complex spanned over 2 kilometers and contained “dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles, and UAVs, as well as machine guns, dozens of anti-tank missiles, and hundreds of mines and explosive devices.” It also included a command center for Hezbollah’s Badr unit . A military official told AFP that some militants had abandoned the area, while others were “eliminated by aerial strikes and artillery fire” .

Israel announced last week it had captured the ridge. The IDF said more than 1,100 tons of explosives were used in the demolition .
