Israel is reportedly employing a policy of demolishing civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon, modeled on its operations in Gaza, in violation of the current ceasefire. According to a Haaretz report, officials state the aim is to prevent residents' return and entrench an Israeli security zone inside Lebanon. The report cites a systematic strategy of erasing villages, with private contractors in Gaza having previously received around $1,500 for every house they demolished. This activity is occurring under the coverage of Israel's interpretation of 'the right to self defence' as outlined in the April 16 agreement announced by Washington.
