DESTRUCTION IN SOUTH
Israel has already struck several bridges over the Litani River, which runs around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the Israeli border.
Israel has said it wants to maintain “security control” up to the river, which bisects south Lebanon.
The NNA also reported strikes in various areas, including Srifa in the Tyre district, where it said a wave of strikes targeting residential neighbourhoods caused “extensive destruction of homes and shops”.
The agency also said Israeli forces had “destroyed what remained of houses” in towns near the border including Aita al-Shaab, Qawzah, Maroun al-Ras and Yaroun, which were largely destroyed during the previous Israel-Hezbollah war that ended in 2024.
Israel’s army said it had struck more than 3,500 targets across Lebanon since the latest war began, while Hezbollah said it had carried out 1,309 operations against Israeli targets during the same period, around half inside Lebanon and half across the border.
On Sunday, an Indonesian peacekeeper was killed when a projectile of unknown origin exploded in a UNIFIL position, according to the force, while another blast the following day killed two more Indonesian troops.
