IDF strikes Zrarieh Bridge over Litani River — first acknowledged strike on Lebanese civilian infrastructure
·Zrarieh, Litani River, South Lebanon
Israel struck the Zrarieh Bridge over the Litani River — first time Israel acknowledged attacking civilian infrastructure in Lebanon. The Litani is the strategic boundary from UNSCR 1701. Destroying the crossing severs Hezbollah supply and reinforcement routes between south Lebanon and the north. Defense Minister Katz simultaneously warned the Lebanese government it would pay increasingly — signaling expanding infrastructure targeting.
Israel struck the Zrarieh Bridge spanning the Litani River in south Lebanon. This is the first time Israel officially acknowledged attacking civilian infrastructure in Lebanon during the conflict. The Litani carries strategic significance as UNSCR 1701 required Hezbollah to withdraw north of it. Destroying Litani bridges severs roads between Hezbollah south Lebanon forces and their northern command, logistics, and reinforcements — a classic interdiction move isolating the southern front. Defense Minister Katz warned the Lebanese government would pay increasingly, signaling Israel will expand infrastructure targeting.
