Israel’s Destruction of Southern Lebanon Turns Villages into “Moonscapes”: Reporter Lylla Younes

The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, warning residents of 12 towns and villages, including some north of the Litani River — beyond its current zone of occupation — to leave their homes. Those warnings were followed by reports of airstrikes in the south. Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a fragile temporary ceasefire in mid-April that has since been extended, but fighting has continued at a lesser scale. More than 1 million Lebanese, nearly one-fifth of Lebanon’s population, have been displaced. “So this is dozens of villages that now no one can technically access. They’re calling it a 'forward defensive zone,'” says Lylla Younes, an investigative journalist based in Beirut. “There’s nothing defensive about it. It’s an offensive operation, and they’re using the word 'cleanse' to describe what they’re doing there. They’re just bulldozing homes.”
