Israel has carried out widespread destruction in southern Lebanon, flattening entire towns near the border, including places like Bint Jbeil. Satellite imagery shows that dozens of villages have been heavily damaged or reduced to rubble since fighting with Hezbollah resumed in March. The conflict has killed more than 2,600 people in Lebanon and displaced over a million. Civilian infrastructure—homes, schools, hospitals, and utilities—has been widely destroyed. Israel says its actions are lawful and necessary. Source: NYT
