'Israel' has threatened to destroy additional bridges in southern Lebanon as its military offensive deepens, aiming to cut off the region from the rest of the country, observers say.
'Israeli' army spokesman Avichay Adraee announced plans to target the Sohmor and Mashghara bridges over the Litani River in the western Bekaa Valley, claiming they are used by Hezbollah.

'Israel' has already destroyed at least six other bridges over the Litani River since early March. Water facilities in Ibl al-Saqi and al-Maysat have suffered significant damage, along with solar power systems at other stations, according to Lebanon’s South Lebanon Water Establishment.
At least four people were killed in Friday’s strikes, including two worshippers leaving a mosque in Sahmar. UN peacekeepers have also been wounded in southern Lebanon, highlighting risks to neutral personnel amid escalating violence.

The bombardment, which began March 2 after Hezbollah fired missiles into northern 'Israel' in retaliation for the U.S.-'Israeli' war on Iran, has displaced more than 1.2 million people. The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health reports at least 1,345 killed and more than 4,000 wounded.
As 'Israel' expands its ground invasion and aerial attacks, rights groups warn the destruction of bridges and civilian infrastructure could effectively isolate southern Lebanon, intensifying the humanitarian crisis.
