(Qualified News) – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday that it has completed the deployment of ground troops to a strategic hill in southern Lebanon – known as the “anti-tank line” – aimed at preventing Hezbollah from launching direct missile attacks on northern Israeli communities.
According to the IDF, the ridge lies several kilometers inside Lebanon and has been identified as a key launch area for Hezbollah’s anti-tank guided missiles, which can reach targets up to 10 kilometers away. The IDF said the deployment reinforces a forward defensive line designed to ward off immediate threats to Israeli civilians.
In recent weeks, Israeli forces have advanced on several strategic locations in southern Lebanon, including the Ras al-Bayda headland near the coastal city of Tyre. Troops are also operating near the Litani River in the western region and have entered several interior villages in the central region.
Israeli officials confirmed that the broader objective is to establish a demilitarized security zone extending to the Litani River. This buffer zone will be maintained through a combination of surveillance, firepower and continuous ground presence at key locations.
The military leadership outlined a three-pronged defensive strategy: securing border villages to prevent infiltration, neutralizing missile launch areas several kilometers inland, and countering rocket and drone threats originating near or north of the Litani River.
Defense Minister Israel Katz has reportedly ordered the clearing of Hezbollah infrastructure in villages within about four kilometers of the Israeli border, except for some Christian communities. The plan is currently being finalized and is expected to be presented to Israel’s political leadership for approval.
The IDF also confirmed that it has deployed a sixth division to the area, intensifying operations against Hezbollah. Specialized units, including the 98th Division of Paratroopers and Commandos, are already conducting targeted missions to eliminate terrorist infrastructure in areas already under Israeli control.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to disrupt Hezbollah supplies by attacking key crossings along the Litani River. The army said it had now targeted seven of the eight main bridges used to transport weapons and operatives into southern Lebanon.
The ongoing operation underlines Israel’s determination to push Hezbollah forces away from its northern border and restore long-term security for its communities.
