Escalating Conflict: Israeli Strikes Devastate Lebanon and Gaza

Israeli demolition teams have razed entire villages in southern Lebanon, with satellite imagery showing extensive destruction in 25 municipalities. The Israeli Defense Forces claim the demolitions target Hezbollah's fortified zones, but critics argue these actions violate international law protecting cultural and religious sites. The conflict, part of a broader regional escalation, has resulted in over 3,000 Lebanese deaths and significant displacement, with accusations of scorched-earth tactics aimed at psychological warfare against Hezbollah supporters.
