Only one bridge is left to connect to the coastal city of #Tyre after #Israel bombed seven bridges crossing the Litani, practically isolating #Lebanon’s south. If that bridge gets struck too, it would create “a humanitarian disaster,” an official in Tyre told me. 15% of the city’s 60k residents remain despite Israel’s forced evac orders. Report coming soon PBS PBS News.

We drove up to the so-called “Forward Defense Line,” a de-facto new security border Israel has imposed in southern Lebanon. From the last checkpoint of the Lebanese army, we could hear explosions as the IDF demolished homes south of that line, despite a ceasefire. Our full report PBS News, filmed Adrian Hartrick:
