IDF warns it will bomb another bridge on Litani, citing Hezbollah terror activities

The IDF warns it will bomb another bridge on the Litani River, “due to Hezbollah’s activities and the transfer of terror operatives to southern Lebanon under the cover of the civilian population.”

To prevent Hezbollah from moving operatives and weapons into southern Lebanon, the military says it will strike the Qasmiya Bridge, located on the coastal highway in southern Lebanon.

Defense Minister Israel Katz, meanwhile, says he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the IDF to “immediately destroy all the bridges over the Litani River that are used for terror activity, to prevent the passage of Hezbollah terrorists and weapons southward.”

Katz also says he instructed the army to “accelerate the destruction of Lebanese homes in the line of contact villages, to thwart threats to Israeli communities, in accordance with the model of Beit Hanoun and Rafah,” referring to Israel’s razing of towns in the Gaza Strip amid the ground offensive against Hamas.
