Israel said the IDF demolished Hezbollah tunnel infrastructure under Ali al-Taher Ridge in southern Lebanon. [1] BBC filed the demolition. [1] France 24 filed the blast as felt across the south. [2] A destroyed tunnel is not a cease-fire. Print the claim. Do not print a vacated south.

Netanyahu's sentence is a government sentence. It is not a Hezbollah confirmation. Troops remaining on a ridge are not a mapped security zone this desk will certify as finished. Print destroyed as Israel's word. Leave a named withdrawal to the edition that owns a named withdrawal.

Destroyed remains Israel's word on this ridge, not Hezbollah's and not a mapped end to the northern file.
Print the ridge. Keep it off Mokha and off Hormuz. Thursday's Red Sea port is a different fuse.
