"Israel also threatened to attack UN peacekeepers if they attempted to
repair bomb-damaged bridges in southern Lebanon. UN officials contacted the
Israeli army to inform them that a team of Chinese military engineers
attached to the UN force in Lebanon intended to repair the bridge on the
Beirut to Tyre road to enable the transport of humanitarian supplies.
According to the UN, Israeli officials said the engineers would become a
target if they attempted to repair the bridge."
