> Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Friday that Israeli forces had taken the strategically located Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon from Hezbollah fighters. The Iran-aligned group has not confirmed losing the high ground, which lies about 10 kilometres from Israel’s border and has faced heavy Israeli strikes in recent weeks despite a ceasefire.
