The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released drone footage showing a precision airstrike on the Qasmiyeh Bridge over the Litani River in southern Lebanon. The video captures the bridge intact before the strike, the explosion’s impact, and the resulting debris, accompanied by Hebrew subtitles highlighting operational details. The strike demonstrates Israel’s focus on targeting infrastructure used by Hezbollah to transport weapons and supplies.

This operation is part of a broader IDF directive to neutralize crossings along the Litani River, ensuring that Hezbollah’s supply lines are disrupted. By destroying the Qasmiyeh Bridge, Israel aims to secure the region south of the river against rocket attacks and enforce the demilitarized zone outlined in UN Resolution 1701. Officials emphasized that the strike was conducted with precision to minimize collateral damage while achieving strategic objectives.

Israeli authorities noted that the bridge had been actively used for transporting weapons and equipment, making it a legitimate military target under international law. The IDF highlighted that its operations continue to focus on degrading Hezbollah’s operational capabilities while maintaining a defensive posture for civilian populations. Drone footage illustrates both the scale of the destruction and the efficiency of the precision strike.

The airstrike reflects Israel’s ongoing commitment to countering threats from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. By targeting critical infrastructure, the IDF seeks to prevent future attacks on Israeli territory and reinforce security in the border region. Officials stated that additional measures could be taken if Hezbollah attempts to restore or bypass the destroyed crossings.
