IDF extensive Lebanon airstrikes: 15 Hezbollah command centers struck in Nabatieh; Qasmiya Bridge destroyed

·Southern Lebanon

The IDF conducted an extensive airstrike wave against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Day 23. In a separate confirmed wave targeting the Nabatieh area, the IDF struck 15 Hezbollah command centers. The IAF also destroyed the Qasmiya Bridge on the coastal Litani River highway — officially described as 'a key crossing used to transfer thousands of weapons, rockets, and rocket launchers' into southern Lebanon. The bridge strike was 'to prevent harm to Israeli civilians as well as Lebanese civilians,' the IDF said.

The IDF announced an 'extensive' wave of airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon on Day 23, describing the operation as wide-area. TRIGGER: Repeated drone alarm activations across Galilee panhandle communities (Kiryat Shmona, Metula) preceded the airstrike wave — consistent with IDF doctrine of responding to drone launches with suppression strikes on launch infrastructure. CONTEXT: - Follows Day 22-23 targeted kills: 28 Hezbollah operatives killed across both days including Radwan Force SF commander Barji - Follows Katz's Litani bridge destruction order (Qasmiya Bridge targeted) - IDF has four divisions active in southern Lebanon buffer zone - No post-strike damage assessment or further operational details released
