Israel moves to destroy Lebanon bridges and homes to curb Hezbollah
TL;DR
Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Katz ordered the IDF to destroy all bridges over the Litani River used by Hezbollah and to accelerate demolition of Lebanese homes in contact-line villages, following a Gaza-style model. The goal is to neutralize threats to Israeli communities as ground operations press toward the anti-tank line and key positions. The IDF will continue safe evacuations for southern Lebanon residents; the IAF recently struck the Zarieh Bridge linked to Hezbollah activity, which had been used to move fighters and launch rockets.
