Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee wrote on “Ax”: “Due to Hezbollah’s activities and the transfer of elements to southern Lebanon under the auspices of the civilian population, the Israeli army is forced to carry out broad and precise targeting of Hezbollah’s activities. Accordingly, and to prevent the transfer of reinforcements and combat means, the Israeli army intends to attack Al-Dalafa Bridge.”
He added: "For your safety, you must continue moving to the area north of the Zahrani River and refrain from any movement south that may put your lives in danger."
He also posted the attached photo.
So what do we know about him?
What do we know about the Delafa Bridge?
Al-Dalafa Bridge, also known as the Tirfelsay Bridge, is one of the most prominent and important bridges in southern Lebanon, as it constitutes a vital artery linking the coastal and inland regions, especially between Tyre, Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, and Zahrani.
The bridge extends over the Litani River, linking the regions of Hasbaya, Marjayoun and Jezzine, making it an essential crossing point for civil and logistical transport.
It is classified as the second largest bridge in Lebanon after the Mudairij-Dahr Al-Baydar Bridge, which reflects its strategic importance.
The bridge was built in 1980, and since its construction it has been subjected to a series of attacks, the first of which was in 1981, before it was restored several times.
Battles continue between the Israeli army and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, while Tel Aviv expands its ground operations and raids targeting bridges, cutting off the south from the rest of the country.
