Israeli forces have bombed homes in the town of Qounine, in Lebanon’s southern Bint Jbeil district, Al Jazeera reports citing the official National News Agency.

Its correspondent says the Israeli army has attacked civilian homes in the town, claiming it is an Israeli tactic to stop people from returning.

More than 1.6 million were displaced after Israel began its aerial assault and ground invasion of southern Lebanon on March 2. Hundreds of thousands have attempted to return to the area.
