Israel's military cuts major roads in southern Lebanon
The strikes on roads and bridges come as Israel's military says it is sending more forces to the front along the border with Lebanon.
Lebanon’s National News Agency said Israel’s air force twice struck the Jardali road linking the southern city of Nabatiyeh with the town of Marjayoun. Strikes also destroyed bridges that Israel said were used by Hezbollah fighters.
After the previous Israel-Hezbollah war, the World Bank estimated the cost of reconstruction and recovery for Lebanon at about $11 billion, with damage to physical structures amounting to $6.8 billion.
Last week, Israel’s finance minister threatened to make Beirut’s southern suburbs look like Gaza.
