Israel's Impact on South Lebanon
The article discusses the widespread and systematic destruction endured by areas in South Lebanon following the Israeli forces' control over them, particularly after their evacuation of residents and their ongoing occupation throughout the recent war. Investigations, supported by satellite images and data, indicate that the demolitions carried out by Israel—using airstrikes, explosions, bulldozers, and the use of white phosphorous—have resulted in the destruction of homes, schools, roads, agricultural lands, and forests, especially in villages near the border. The territory under Israeli control, known as the "Yellow Line," is estimated to cover about 6% of Lebanon's area, and authorities prevent around 270,000 people from returning, threatening the loss of the area's memory and heritage as its spaces have been turned into ruins and rubble. It is believed that the purpose of this is to make the residents' return impossible, raising human rights concerns over the destruction of vital infrastructure and the obstruction of displaced persons' return.
