The IDF entered the Ali Taher complex more than a week ago. Amit Segal, an Israeli military journalist, even leaked the images but was forced to delete them by the military censorship.
Yesterday, the IDF fully cleared the compound for the first time. Hebrew media outlets already knew this but weren’t allowed to report on it.
So they published a fake report this morning that ‘Iran said it will attack Israel’ if Ali Taher Hill is captured, while fully knowing it was already captured.
Why? To make Iran look weak, very simply. A way to boost Netanyahu’s poll numbers ahead of the election.
This doesn’t mean that the capture of Ali Taher isn’t a strategic loss. It most certainly is. However, the narrative that Iran promised to retaliate is simply fake.
