Israel destroys Zrarieh Bridge over Litani River, cutting north-south link in Lebanon

Hûrgulî

The Israeli military struck and destroyed the Zrarieh Bridge spanning the Litani River in southern Lebanon, severing a key north-south connection. The IDF claimed Hezbollah fighters were using the bridge to move between the country's north and south, though it offered no evidence. This was the first acknowledged Israeli attack on civilian infrastructure in the current campaign. The bridge destruction was part of Israel's escalating campaign that included threatening Lebanon with "Gaza-scale devastation." International law generally prohibits attacks on civilian infrastructure unless used for military purposes.
