Amid ceasefire, Israeli forces ramp up destruction of homes in southern Lebanon

Israeli forces are destroying entire areas of towns and villages in southern Lebanon, as part of a plan to establish control during a Trump-declared ceasefire. This truce is merely a ‘name truce’ and is seen as Israel’s military operation to eliminate the threat posed by Hezbollah. The U.S. is expected to mediate a fresh round of talks between Israel and Lebanon on Thursday and Friday.
