The Israeli military confirms bombing the Qasmiya Bridge on the Litani River earlier today, saying in a statement that it was a “key” crossing used by Hezbollah to move operatives and weapons into southern Lebanon.
“The Hezbollah terror organization uses this crossing to transfer thousands of weapons, rockets, and rocket launchers that it uses to carry out terror attacks from the area south of the Litani against IDF troops and Israeli civilians,” the military says.
The IDF says it struck the bridge, located on Lebanon’s coastal highway just north of Tyre “to prevent harm to Israeli civilians as well as Lebanese civilians.”
In a separate wave of airstrikes in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon today, the IDF says it struck 15 Hezbollah command centers.
