“Israel threatens to destroy more Lebanon bridges as crisis mounts”

“Israel’s military has threatened to destroy more bridges in southern Lebanon in what observers say is an attempt to cut the area off from the rest of the country”

“These are two main bridges – the main arteries for goods, for people, for movement – between the rest of Lebanon and the western Bekaa”

“The bombing of bridges and other civilian infrastructure across southern Lebanon has been widely condemned”

“A deepening ground invasion launched by the Israeli military last week also has spurred widespread concern as Israeli leaders have said they plan to demolish scores of residential homes”

“The South Lebanon Water Establishment said Israeli strikes damaged key water infrastructure in southern Lebanon”

“The targeting of vital facilities, especially water facilities, is a clear and explicit violation of all international conventions and norms that require the neutrality of institutions and facilities that provide basic services to civilians from acts of war”

“NNA also reported that at least four people were killed across the country in Israeli attacks on Friday, including a strike that targeted worshippers leaving a mosque in the western Bekaa town of Sahmar, killing two people”
