The death toll from Israeli attacks on Lebanon since Israel's latest assault began earlier this month has risen to over 1,000, Lebanon's health ministry has said.
The ministry said that Israeli attacks have killed 1,001 people in the country since 2 March, raising a previous toll of 968 a day earlier.
The toll included 79 women, 118 children and 40 health workers, with 2,584 other people wounded, the ministry said in a statement.
One million people have been displaced across Lebanon as a result of Israeli attacks, according to Lebanese authorities.
Israeli attacks on the Lebanese capital Beirut have continued in recent days, killing at least 10 people and destroying a 10-storey building near the city centre yesterday.
In a further escalation, Israeli warplanes also began striking bridges over the Litani River that link southern Lebanon to the rest of the country, destroying at least two of them, Lebanese state media said.
The Israeli military said it would target bridges on the Litani to prevent Hezbollah transferring fighters and weapons, and reiterated a warning for residents to leave the south.
Russia, meanwhile, accused Israel of deliberately targeting a TV crew from its state-run RT broadcaster reporting from southern Lebanon with a strike that wounded a reporter and a cameraman.
"The crew's clothing clearly read 'press' and they were carrying only cameras and microphones... All these circumstances indicate that the attack on the journalists was deliberate and targeted," the Russian foreign ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
The Israeli military claimed the TV crew was operating in an area where a warning to leave had been issued.
RT reporter Steve Sweeney had been reporting on the destruction of a bridge in southern Lebanon at the time of the attack.
In a post on X this evening, Mr Sweeney said that he and his cameraman have been treated in hospital for their injuries.
He said it was a deliberate and targeted attack on journalists from an Israeli fighter jet.
Fears are growing in Lebanon that cutting off southern Lebanon from the rest of the country could pave the way for a large-scale Israeli military operation into Lebanese territory.
Watch: Building collapses in Beirut after Israeli attack yesterday
Yesterday, an Israeli military officer commanding troops operating in Lebanon said that his troops are "prepared to do all kinds of operations" if the military issued orders to establish positions as far as the Litani, nearly 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of the Israeli border.
Earlier, the Lebanese state electricity company said that Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon had put a main power substation out of service, a sign of expanding Israeli attacks on Lebanese infrastructure.
In a statement carried by Lebanon's state media, the electricity authority said the attack damaged various parts of the station in Bint Jbeil, impacting power provision in the city and surrounding towns.
France, meanwhile, has announced it will double its humanitarian aid to Lebanon to the value of €17 million.
France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot made the announcement on his social media account as he visited Beirut, as part of efforts to get a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
Jean-Yves Le Drian, France's special envoy for Lebanon, had said earlier this week that it was unreasonable to expect the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah while the country is being bombed by Israel.
Israel has rebuffed an offer of direct talks from Beirut as too little, too late by a government that shares its goal of wanting Hezbollah disarmed but fears that acting against it could risk civil war, sources familiar with the situation said.
