The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that they carried out overnight attacks on multiple Hezbollah installations and infrastructure across Lebanon. According to the IDF, two bridges over the Litani River were destroyed, further isolating southern Lebanon. The strikes followed a series of heavy attacks earlier in the week, including one on Wednesday that targeted 100 sites within ten minutes.

The Litani River region has become a central focus of Israeli operations in recent weeks. In late March, Israel announced plans to establish a buffer zone extending up to the river, approximately 30 kilometers from its border, to maintain control of the area. The IDF also claimed responsibility for killing Ali Yusuf Harshi, nephew and secretary of Hezbollah’s secretary-general, though Hezbollah has not commented on this claim.

Lebanon’s Health Ministry reported that Wednesday’s attacks killed at least 182 people. The latest overnight strikes add to the escalating tension and humanitarian toll in southern Lebanon.
