Mar 22, 2026·1 min read

The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on the Qasmiya Bridge over the Litani River in southern Lebanon earlier today, just hours after issuing a warning that the crossing would be targeted.

Video circulating from the scene captures the moment the bridge—situated along a key coastal highway—was hit.

According to the military, the strike was intended to block Hezbollah’s ability to transfer fighters and weapons into southern Lebanon. Defense Minister Israel Katz had previously ordered the immediate destruction of all Litani River crossings being used for militant activity, aiming to disrupt Hezbollah movement toward the border.
