Israeli forces conduct extensive demolitions in south Lebanon

Published Updated

The National News Agency reports Israeli forces continue to conduct demolitions in southern Lebanon with extensive blasts inside the town of Khiam.

Multiple consecutive explosions were heard shaking the area throughout the night, according to NNA.

Israel has been accused of carrying out a deliberate policy of destroying homes and infrastructure in the south – much like it did in Gaza – to make it uninhabitable for Lebanese residents.
