The Israeli military is carrying out controlled explosions of infrastructure in the village of Kunin, southern Lebanon, according to a report from Abu Ali Express. No details on the specific targets or casualties have been reported.
At 19:45 Jerusalem, Lebanese outlet Al-Mayadeen reported that Israeli forces had carried out a strike in the area of the village of Kunin in southern Lebanon. Within an hour, at 20:43, the security-focused channel Abu Ali Express clarified that the activity involves controlled explosions of village infrastructure. No details on the specific targets, the scope of the demolition, or any casualties have been provided, and the IDF has not commented on the operation.
The initial report did not specify the nature of the strike; this update from Abu Ali Express provides a more precise description of the action. The Zioneer has been tracking a pattern of similar IDF-controlled demolitions across southern Lebanon villages in recent weeks. On Jun 29, The Zioneer reported that the IDF conducted controlled explosions in Yohmor al-Shaqif and Deir Siryan, and demolished residential buildings in Taybeh and Khadatha. On Jun 30, similar demolitions were reported in Markaba.
These operations are part of ongoing IDF activity along the border, as previously documented by The Zioneer in reports from mid-June onward, including demolitions of buildings and infrastructure to prevent residents' return. The specific rationale for the demolition in Kunin has not been stated.
It remains unclear what infrastructure was targeted in Kunin, whether any structures were inhabited, and whether the IDF will issue a statement. The report from Abu Ali Express is a single-source account and has not been independently confirmed.
