"Israel's military has targeted bridges in southern Lebanon, in what observers say is an attempt to cut the area off from the rest of the country. The destruction of key bridges and transport routes is effectively cutting off up to 150,000 people from humanitarian assistance, creating conditions for a rapid deterioration in basic needs and access to essential services."
"Elie Yaacoub, head of Mercy Corps' Lebanon Crisis Analysis Team, said the area south of the Litani river was not witnessing a military escalation but the systematic isolation of an entire population. We are seeing a re-emergence of tactics used in the 2006 war, particularly the targeting of transport infrastructure to isolate the south."
"The difference today is the scale of need and the fragility of systems already under strain, which makes the humanitarian consequences even more severe. The ongoing military operations have raised concerns about the long-term impact on the affected populations."
Israel has launched renewed military strikes on southern Lebanon and Beirut, resulting in casualties and significant infrastructure damage. Attacks have targeted various towns and critical transport routes, isolating approximately 150,000 people from humanitarian aid. The military's actions are reminiscent of tactics used in the 2006 war, with a focus on cutting off access to essential services. The ongoing ground invasion, which began on March 16, raises concerns about the humanitarian impact on an already fragile population facing severe needs.
