Israel announces plans to occupy southern Lebanon up to Litani River and destroy homes in border villages
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel will control territory up to the Litani River in southern Lebanon following its ground operations against Hezbollah. Israeli forces will destroy homes in Lebanese border villages using methods similar to those employed in Gaza's Rafah and Beit Hanoun neighborhoods. The plan aims to create a buffer zone to prevent Hezbollah attacks, with hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians displaced from the affected areas.
