The bridge, the last crossing linking southern Lebanon to the rest of the country over the Litani River, was left in ruins and blocked with debris, severing a key route used by civilians, ambulances, and the military. Bus drivers and residents said the strike has brought movement and livelihoods to a halt, with one describing the south as “cut off” from the rest of Lebanon. Support stories that matter.
