💥 Airstrikes on Hezbollah infrastructure: The IDF says it has begun an “extensive” wave of airstrikes against Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
The Israeli Air Force struck the Qasmiya Bridge on the Litani River after warning it would target the crossing, which is located on the coastal highway.
The military said the strike was intended to prevent Hezbollah from moving operatives and weapons into southern Lebanon.
Defense Minister Israel Katz said he instructed the IDF to “immediately destroy all the bridges over the Litani River that are used for terror activity, to prevent the passage of Hezbollah terrorists and weapons southward.”
🎯 Radwan Force commander eliminated: A senior commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force was eliminated in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon yesterday.
The strike in Majdal Selm killed Abu Khalil Barji, commander of the Radwan special forces unit, along with two additional Hezbollah operatives.
Barji had served for years as a commander in the Radwan Force and recently led its special forces, which were responsible, among other roles, for attacks on IDF troops.
The IDF also said it struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in various areas across southern Lebanon last night.
❗️ Misgav Am fatality under investigation: The IDF is investigating whether 60-year-old Ofer Moskovitz, who was killed in Misgav Am this morning, was hit by Israeli artillery fire rather than a Hezbollah attack.
No sirens sounded before the projectile struck the vehicle he was in.
Hezbollah quickly claimed responsibility, saying it targeted “a gathering of Israeli enemy army soldiers” with a barrage of rockets at 8 a.m.
The IDF initially said rocket fire from Lebanon caused casualties and damage, and said the incident remains under investigation.
💥 Gaza strike reports: Gazan media report three dead and 10 wounded in an Israeli strike targeting a Hamas police vehicle in the central Gaza Strip.
The dead and some of the wounded were identified in the reports as officers from Hamas’s Nuseirat police.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF on the strike.
