[Global Network Report by Reporter Jiang Ailing] According to reports from foreign media such as AFP and Al Jazeera, the Israeli military destroyed a bridge in southern Lebanon on the 13th local time and dropped leaflets over the Lebanese capital Beirut, warning that Lebanon would face destruction on a scale similar to that of the Gaza Strip.

According to the Israeli military, this bridge is an "important passage for Hezbollah from northern Lebanon to the south," aimed at "gathering strength and preparing for battle." However, the Israeli side did not provide any evidence to support this claim.

Al Jazeera stated that this is the first time Israel has publicly acknowledged targeting civilian infrastructure since the current round of offensives began.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran, which retaliated against Israeli and U.S. military bases in the Middle East. As Iran's main regional ally, Hezbollah began launching rockets into northern Israel on the evening of the 2nd, while Israel conducted intense airstrikes on southern Lebanon, eastern Lebanon, and the capital Beirut, and carried out small-scale ground operations in southern Lebanon.
