Lebanese Army says Israel's destruction of key bridge has isolated area south of Litani River

The Lebanese army said Thursday that Israeli strikes that destroyed the Qasmiyeh bridge over the southern Litani River have cut off the area from the rest of the country.

"In the context of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon, the Qasmiyeh-Tyre coastal bridge was targeted and destroyed, with the aim of separating the area south of the Litani from its north and isolating it," the army said in a statement, adding that the strikes killed one person and wounded three others, among them "a soldier from the unit stationed on the bridge".
