Israel plans to destroy homes in Lebanon.

El País

Israel plans to destroy homes in Lebanese border towns. This is happening because of conflict with Iran. About 600,000 displaced Lebanese people cannot return.

Israel’s actions are part of a strategy to secure northern Israel. The plan involves occupying southern Lebanon and preventing residents from returning. This follows attacks between Israel and Iran, including strikes on a Kuwaiti oil tanker. The government estimates that around 600,000 people have been displaced. Simultaneously, Israel passed a law with the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis.
