Farmers In Southern Lebanon Return To Destroyed Olive Orchards
An investigation by The New York Times and satellite analysis reveal extensive destruction across Israeli-occupied areas of southern Lebanon:
Out of 60 analyzed towns and villages in the Israeli-occupied zone, 48 have been essentially erased from the map with their buildings, generational olive groves, and farmlands bulldozed or demolished.
Satellite radar and imagery analyses indicate that over 10,000 to 12,000+ structures have been damaged or destroyed across border municipalities, with over 5,600 to thousands more concentrated directly inside IDF-occupied border strips where up to 42% to 70% of buildings in specific towns were leveled.
As much as 11% of the occupied territory's total land area has been burned or cleared, alongside extensive destruction of agricultural land, orchards, and cultural sites.
That's one way to insure the safety of Israeli citizens, and nip the next generation of Hizballah in the bud.
