Israel strikes Dallafa bridge after warning
The Israeli military on Monday struck a bridge linking southern Lebanon with the eastern Bekaa region, state media reported, after warning it would hit the crossing.
The strike is part of a series of attacks on bridges over Lebanon's Litani River, located around 30 kilometers north of Israel, including the key Qasmiyeh bridge on Sunday.
The Israeli army warned it would hit the bridge, alleging it was used by Iran-backed Hezbollah as the war between the two sides rages on.
"The Israeli army targeted the Dallafa bridge, which connects the Hasbaya-Marjeyoun region with the Jezzine-Chouf and Western Bekaa regions," Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported.
