Israel struck and destroyed the Qasmiyeh bridge over the Litani River, a key route connecting southern Lebanese villages to the rest of the country. Israel said the bridge was being used by Hezbollah to move fighters and weapons. The strike followed an order from Defense Minister Israel Katz to destroy all bridges over the Litani River and accelerate the demolition of Lebanese homes near the Israeli border. Lebanon’s president called the targeting of bridges a “dangerous escalation” and a “prelude to a ground invasion.” #dwnews
