By Alexander Cornwell and Maya Gebeily TEL AVIV/BEIRUT, March 13 (Reuters) - Israel destroyed a bridge in southern Lebanon on Friday and dropped leaflets in Beirut threatening Gaza-scale devastation as it deployed more troops to fight Iran-backed Hezbollah and warned of more attacks on the country's infrastructure.

A humanitarian crisis is looming in Lebanon where more than 750,000 people have been displaced since the U.S. and Israel began their war with Iran.

When Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel, it granted Israel the opening it was waiting for. It’s now seeking to end Hezbollah’s ability to rain rockets down on Israeli communities for good.

Almost two weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, the conflict in Lebanon is quickly escalating and expanding into more regions of the country. It began after the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel,

The Lebanese parliament has extended its term by two years due to the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, which has pushed the region into an escalating conflict, and Israel stepped up its attacks on Lebanon.

The French government has drafted a proposal to end the war in Lebanon that would require the Lebanese government to take the unprecedented step of recognizing Israel, three sources familiar with the details told Axios.

On Friday, two loud booms echoed in Beirut before Israeli leaflets started raining down on residents, spreading captions that evoke Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza and urge Lebanese residents to share information with Israeli intelligence.

Hundreds of thousands have been displaced since Israel intensified its bombing campaign in Lebanon, saying it is targeting Hezbollah.
