Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that an Israeli attack has targeted Qasmiyeh Bridge in the country’s south, after Israel’s military earlier warned it would strike it, according to Al Jazeera.

Footage shared by Israel’s Kan broadcaster appears to show a series of explosions simultaneously on and near the bridge, with a cloud of smoke rising up.

Qasmiyeh Bridge is a key route along the coastal highway, and its destruction would effectively cut off parts of southern Lebanon from the rest of the country.
