Satellite Images Reveal Over 1,400 Buildings Razed in Southern Lebanon

New analysis by a major broadcaster examines satellite imagery and video to track damage in border towns and villages since early March. It finds at least 1,400 structures destroyed, with the real toll likely higher due to limited coverage. The broadcaster connects the wave of demolitions to comments by Israel’s defence minister, who urged faster destruction of homes near the Lebanese frontier to counter militant positions. Legal experts warn the pattern could amount to a war crime under international law, depending on intent and context. The Israeli military maintains its operations follow international conflict rules and that strikes target sites of military necessity, citing claims that militants embed infrastructure within civilian areas without providing clear evidence.
