• Haaretz: Israel demolishing villages in Lebanon 'just like Gaza'

Contesto

Israeli military forces are systematically demolishing villages in southern Lebanon using methods directly comparable to those employed in the Gaza Strip, according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The account, based on testimony from soldiers involved in the operations, describes a campaign of widespread destruction aimed at clearing a buffer zone along the border. "We’re behaving just like we did in Gaza," one army source stated, revealing that military objectives are quantified by physical destruction: "There’s a list of homes to be demolished, and we measure success based on the number of buildings destroyed in a day." The operations have reportedly advanced approximately 20 kilometres from the border, reaching a third line of villages south of the Litani River. The tactical parallel drawn by the soldiers points to a deliberate and expansive ground strategy beyond routine border skirmishes. Military bulldozers have been deployed to raze entire villages near the border fence, not merely targeting specific militant infrastructure but clearing land for what are described as "permanent" military outposts. This suggests a long-term Israeli intention to alter the physical and demographic landscape of southern Lebanon, creating a fortified zone that would be difficult for groups like Hezbollah to re-infiltrate. The scale of the demolitions, as indicated by the daily metrics of success, implies a coordinated engineering effort rather than sporadic combat damage. The context for this campaign is a prolonged and escalating cross-border conflict between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which has involved daily exchanges of rocket, drone, and artillery fire since the outbreak of war in Gaza. The Israeli government has repeatedly stated that its goal is to push Hezbollah forces north of the Litani River, as stipulated in the UN Security Council Resolution 1701 that ended the 2006 war. The current ground operations and demolitions appear to be a physical enforcement of that demand, preemptively destroying villages that could provide cover for Hezbollah fighters and establishing a new Israeli-controlled frontier.
