The Lebanese Armed Forces officially confirmed their withdrawal from the area, stating that the decision was made in response to direct threats from Israel against the region. In parallel, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam led a security summit with military and interior security officials to assess the situation. During the meeting, he was briefed on the progress of the Israeli operation, the forced displacement of the population, and growing security issues in various parts of the country. Facing this scenario, Salam ordered to reinforce controls and security measures in the affected areas, with a special focus on Beirut, aiming to protect the population and prevent a further deterioration of the internal situation. The military escalation keeps the entire region on high alert due to the risk of conflict escalation. The Israeli Army carried out a bombing on the Qasmiya Bridge, a key infrastructure over the Litani River in southern Lebanon, as part of the offensive ordered by Defense Minister Israel Katz. The attack, which took place this Sunday, marked the first concrete target of the operation aimed at cutting the supply routes used by Hezbollah. The bridge was a vital communication link that connected the south of the country with the Sidon governorate and the capital, Beirut, which aggravates the logistical and humanitarian impact in the region, as learned by Agencia Noticias Argentinas. Faced with the imminent attack, the Lebanese Army decided to evacuate its positions in the Qasmiya area, near the Borj Rahal highway and the coastal road.
