Israel has inflicted massive destruction in southern Lebanon, effectively razing entire communities near the border, including Bint Jbeil, The New York Times reports.
According to satellite imagery, after fighting with Hezbollah resumed in March, dozens of villages were heavily damaged or reduced to ruins.
The conflict has already claimed more than 2,600 lives in Lebanon and displaced over 1 million residents. A significant share of civilian infrastructure—homes, schools, hospitals, and коммунальные facilities—has been destroyed.
Israel says its actions are lawful and necessary.
