According to reports, the Israeli army said that these underground facilities belong to the Hezbollah Badr forces responsible for the area north of the Litani River in southern Lebanon.

According to reports, after the blasting operation was carried out that day, huge explosions were heard throughout the area. The video showed a huge fireball rising above the mountain.

The Israeli military said it found dozens of Iranian-made rockets, missiles and drones in the tunnels, as well as guns, anti-tank missiles, hundreds of landmines and other explosives. The Israeli army also claimed that these underground facilities took about 20 years to build and were funded and designed by Iran. Their destruction meant that the Israeli army had completed "combat control" of the Ali Tahir Heights.

According to reports, a joint statement issued by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz stated that this operation consolidated the Israeli army's control of the "safe zone" in southern Lebanon, and the Israeli army will continue to deploy there to prevent Hezbollah militants from re-entering.
