Israel destroys last bridge over Litani River, cutting off southern Lebanon

The Israeli military has destroyed the Qasmiyeh Bridge in southern Lebanon, the last remaining operational bridge crossing the Litani River and connecting the northern and southern parts of the country.
Israel says it is targeting critical infrastructure to prevent Hezbollah from moving weapons and fighters, but the strike effectively cuts off all supply lines to the south, where around 100,000 people are now stranded. The bridge, which connected Tyre to Sidon and then to Beirut, has been completely obliterated, with a huge ditch now where the structure once stood.
The destruction makes it extremely difficult for humanitarian aid to reach southern Lebanon and for civilians to escape the area.
The military had previously patched up the bridge after multiple strikes, but it is now completely destroyed.
The attack is part of a "systematic destruction of critical infrastructure" in Lebanon, with violence continuing to escalate for six weeks despite hopes for a break.

Al Jazeera’s Obaida Hitto reports from the site of the destroyed bridge in Tyre, southern Lebanon.
