Israel demolishes South Lebanon heritage
During the last two wars in southern Lebanon, Israel destroyed many heritage landmarks. Nabatieh city, for instance, lost 147 homes dating back between 80 and 150 years, along with houses and "diyawat" (traditional meeting halls) over two centuries old, belonging to local leaders and prominent families. The destruction was not merely collateral damage but part of a plan to erase the region's cultural and political memory—particularly the deliberate destruction of a market dating back to the Mamluk era. This constitutes a systematic obliteration of heritage without any genuine justification, despite Israeli claims that the bombing targeted only Hezbollah facilities.
