Lebanese army says it has reopened road and bridge damaged by Israeli strikes

Lebanon’s military says it has reopened a road and bridge damaged by Israeli strikes in the country’s south.

In a statement, the military says it “fully reopened” a road linking the city of Nabatieh with the Khardali area, and has “partially reopened the Burj Rahal-Tyre bridge.”

“Work is also underway to rehabilitate the Tayr Falsay-Tyre bridge… following damage caused by the Israeli aggression,” the army adds.

Israeli strikes on bridges that cross Lebanon’s Litani river, which flows around 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Israel, have largely cut off the area south of the waterway from the rest of Lebanon, according to the army.

Israel says it has targeted bridges and roads used by Hezbollah to move operatives and weapons into the country’s south, as it works to end the terror group’s missile fire.
