A branch of the Catholic church has expressed concern over reports that Israel is demolishing civilian and religious buildings in southern Lebanon. The Council of Melkite Greek Catholic Bishops urged the Lebanese government and the United Nations to protect these properties, especially in Yaroun, where a Melkite convent was reportedly destroyed. Israel has taken control of border areas in its war against Hezbollah, aiming to root out militants. The Israeli military stated it does not intentionally target religious sites. Meanwhile, a potential meeting between Lebanese President Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Washington is being discussed.
