Israel Intensifies Strikes and Demolitions in Southern Lebanon; President Calls it Invasion Prelude

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has reiterated orders for the demolition of Lebanese homes and bridges, including al-Qasmiyeh bridge, in southern Lebanon, as the region experiences constant Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah and efforts to expand a military-controlled buffer zone. Lebanon's president has now stated that these Israeli bridge bombings are part of 'suspicious plans' for a land invasion.
