Lebanon Reopens Roads, Bridges Hit by Israeli Strikes as Truce Holds

The Lebanese army has announced the reopening of key roads and bridges damaged by Israeli strikes in the south, as a 10-day ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel remains in effect.

According to a military statement on Sunday, the road connecting Nabatieh and Khardali has been “fully reopened,” while the Burj Rahal–Tyre bridge is now partially accessible.

“Work is also underway to rehabilitate the Tayr Falsay–Tyre bridge… following damage caused by the Israeli aggression,” the army said.

Strikes on infrastructure along the Litani River had effectively isolated southern Lebanon from the rest of the country, disrupting movement and access.

The ceasefire, which began Friday after rare direct talks between Israel and Lebanon, has temporarily halted weeks of violence that killed nearly 2,300 people and displaced more than one million.

Efforts to restore infrastructure have accelerated since the truce began, with the strategic Qasmiyeh bridge reopening and enabling displaced residents to revisit their homes.

Still, many remain cautious about returning due to fears the truce may not last.

In Sidon, residents were seen travelling back to Beirut after brief visits to the south, highlighting ongoing uncertainty.

Hezbollah official Mahmud Qamati cautioned residents, saying: “Israeli treachery is expected at any time, and this is a temporary truce.”

“Take a breath… but do not abandon the places you have taken refuge in until we are completely reassured about your return,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military has continued limited operations in southern Lebanon and said it has set up a “yellow line” buffer zone similar to one used in Gaza.
