The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Qasmiya Bridge, a key transit point connecting southern Lebanon to the north, destroying the section over the Litani River. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly ordered immediate strikes on bridges in the area to block Hezbollah fighters and weapons, with Defense Minister Israel Katz stating the aim was to prevent their southward movement. The army said the bridge was targeted because it was allegedly being used for militant activity and the covert movement of operatives under civilian cover.
