FT Investigation: How Israel renders South Lebanon uninhabitable
A visual investigative report by the Financial Times and Lighthouse Reports exposes a systematic destruction carried out by the Israeli occupying army in southern Lebanon. After taking control of the villages in mid-April, they destroyed tens of thousands of homes, schools, agricultural lands, and historic sites. The destruction involved extensive methods including airstrikes, bombings, bulldozers, and the use of white phosphorus, all aimed at demolishing vital infrastructure and hindering the return of residents. Large portions of water supplies, electricity networks, roads, healthcare facilities, and at least 2,500 kilometers of infrastructure were destroyed. The local population was forced to replant tens of thousands of trees on their agricultural lands. The healthcare sector was also widely targeted, with many healthcare facilities destroyed and 135 healthcare workers killed during the operations. There are international and human rights accusations that Israel used methods of environmental genocide and cultural destruction, especially targeting historic and archaeological sites listed by UNESCO.
