According to Lebanon’s National News Agency, the Israeli army has recently demolished 37 villages in southern Lebanon, resulting in the total destruction of over 40,000 homes. This widespread devastation comes amid ongoing Israeli attacks targeting southern Lebanon, with military operations impacting towns and neighborhoods across the region.
Reports indicate that the Israeli forces have heavily bombarded areas up to three kilometers into Lebanon, from Naqoura to the outskirts of Khiam. Videos circulating on social media show entire neighborhoods in Lebanese border towns being obliterated, which the Israeli army claims are strongholds of Hezbollah.
