The villages of Haret al-Madrasa and Kounin in southern Lebanon have been leveled, according to reports circulating on Israeli channels. No official IDF statement has been issued on the demolitions, which follow a pattern of razing Shiite contact-line villages as ground operations continue.
The source aligned with Israeli military sources posted footage and a statement claiming that Haret al-Madrasa and Kounin, two Shiite villages in southern Lebanon, have been razed. The message, posted Tuesday afternoon with a "👌" emoticon, did not specify the method — whether by IDF demolition teams, artillery, or airstrikes — or provide a timeline. As The Zioneer has previously reported (June 9), Maroun al-Ras was demolished in a similar operation, and satellite imagery analyzed on June 14 indicated the IDF had captured Kounin along with three other villages and a strategic ridge. The current report suggests that Kounin, which was previously shown as captured, has now been systematically leveled. Haret al-Madrasa, located west of Kounin closer to the coast, had not been mentioned in previous bulletins. The claims remain unverified by independent or official sources.
