Historic monastery destroyed in Yaroun
Israeli forces have destroyed a historic monastery and school belonging to the Sisters of the Holy Savior in the town of Yaroun, southern Lebanon. This religious site, which held significant cultural and architectural value, was completely demolished as a result of the Israeli military operation.
