The Israeli Army will establish a "security zone" from southern Lebanon to the Litani River, as confirmed this morning by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz. In this context, it has destroyed five bridges over the Litani River in southern Lebanon.
"The Israeli Army has destroyed the five bridges that Hezbollah used to carry terrorists and weapons and will control the remaining bridges to the Litani River," Katz added after Israel launched the land invasion of Lebanon.
