IDF strikes Dallafa Bridge in southern Lebanon — latest in series of bridge interdiction strikes

2026-03-23 · 13:00 UTC·Dallafa Bridge, southern Lebanon

Israel's military struck the Dallafa Bridge in southern Lebanon on Monday, the latest in a series of strikes on vital transit routes. Israeli officials said the attacks target Hezbollah logistics and fighter movement from northern Lebanon toward the south. Lebanese civilians have also relied on the bridges to flee fighting in southern Lebanon.

The IDF struck the Dallafa Bridge in southern Lebanon on Monday, continuing a campaign of bridge interdiction across the country's south. The New York Times reported the strike from its correspondent in Damascus. Israeli officials have framed the bridge destruction campaign as aimed at severing Hezbollah supply lines and halting fighter movement toward the southern front. However, Lebanese civilians have also used these bridges to evacuate from areas under heavy bombardment, and humanitarian organisations have raised concerns about civilian freedom of movement. The Dallafa Bridge was a key transit route in the Nabatieh district. Israeli Defense Minister Katz separately ordered the military to step up demolition of bridges and homes across southern Lebanon, deepening fears of a long-term Israeli occupation of the south.
