Lebanon's Public Health Ministry said on Sunday that the death toll from Israeli attacks in the country since March 2 has risen to 1,029, with 2,786 others wounded.
The attacks on Sunday left five people dead and 46 others injured in Lebanon. Meanwhile, the attacks have continued to escalate across the country.
Israeli warplanes struck the Qasmiyeh Bridge on the Litani River in southern Lebanon on Sunday, Lebanon's National News Agency reported, as Israel launched a new wave of airstrikes across the region.
The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, saying they targeted Hezbollah positions. Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to "immediately" destroy all bridges over the Litani River used by the group.
Hezbollah issued a series of statements on Sunday night, saying that it had launched rocket and drone attacks on multiple Israeli military targets and shot down an Israeli drone in southern Lebanon.
In addition, the Israeli army claimed to have killed a Hezbollah commander recently.
Eyal Zamir, the Israeli military chief of staff, said on Saturday that Israel's campaign against Hezbollah had "only just begun."
Also on Sunday, the Israeli military said Zamir had approved plans "to advance the targeted ground operations and strikes" against Hezbollah, and that this would be a "prolonged operation".
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Sunday condemned Israel's targeting and destruction of infrastructure and vital facilities in southern Lebanon, particularly the Qasmiyeh Bridge over the Litani River and other bridges.
Aoun said in a statement that the attacks constitute a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, warning that they could be a "prelude to a ground invasion" that Lebanon has repeatedly cautioned against through diplomatic channels.
He added that the attacks reflect a systematic destruction of infrastructure, and also civilian facilities and residential areas in Lebanese villages, describing them as a form of collective punishment against civilians and a violation of international humanitarian law.
Aoun called on the international community, particularly the United Nations and the Security Council, to assume their responsibilities and take immediate measures to deter Israel from continuing its attacks, warning that silence or inaction would encourage further violations and undermine the credibility of the international community.
