Israeli warplanes launched fresh airstrikes in southern Lebanon, hitting the Qasmiyeh Bridge over the Litani River, a key strategic crossing. The strikes targeted Hezbollah positions following a rocket attack that killed an Israeli civilian near the border. Israel ordered the destruction of bridges allegedly used by Hezbollah, signaling a potential expansion of military operations. Residents were warned to evacuate areas near the strikes. Meanwhile, Israel also reported killing a senior Hezbollah commander and two militants in earlier attacks, as cross-border violence intensifies alongside the broader regional conflict involving Iran.
