"The Israeli military has demolished entire villages as part of its invasion of south Lebanon, rigging homes with explosives and razing them to the ground in massive remote detonations."
"The demolitions came after Israel's minister of defence, Israel Katz, called for the destruction of all houses in border villages in accordance with the model used in Rafah and Beit Hanoun in Gaza."
"Rights groups, however, have said these mass remote detonations could amount to wanton destruction: a war crime. The laws of war prohibit the deliberate destruction of civilian homes, except when necessary for lawful military reasons."
The Israeli military has conducted mass demolitions of villages in south Lebanon, employing remote detonations to destroy homes. This action follows calls from Israel's defense minister to eliminate houses in border areas, mirroring tactics used in Gaza. The military claims these demolitions target Hezbollah infrastructure embedded in civilian areas. Rights groups warn that such actions may constitute war crimes, as international laws prohibit the destruction of civilian homes unless necessary for military objectives. Concerns arise over potential long-term displacement of residents from these areas.
