JERUSALEM, March 18 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli army on Wednesday struck and destroyed two additional bridges over Lebanon's Litani River, according to a statement from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
The announcement follows an earlier strike on another Litani River bridge last week. Katz's office did not specify the precise locations of the targeted bridges or provide details on casualties.
The Litani River, Lebanon's longest river, which runs roughly parallel to the frontier, has long been a focal point in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. ■
