## Resource

A tense standoff rages over Ali Taher, a strategically vital hill in southern Lebanon that Israel now claims full operational control of after clearing Hezbollah fighters and tunnels—key to Hezbollah’s supply lines and funded by Iran. Despite a ceasefire, Israeli airstrikes and Hezbollah drones continue to clash around the site, which overlooks critical roads and villages. The U.S. pushes for Hezbollah to hand it over to the Lebanese army as part of a broader disarmament plan, but Hezbollah refuses, fearing Israel will seize the territory and demand more. Lebanon’s Deputy PM accuses Israel of blocking the Lebanese army’s access for political reasons ahead of elections, raising fears this localized conflict could spiral into a wider regional war.
