Building demolitions by Israeli forces are continuing near the Shiite village of Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported Tuesday evening. Goldblatt, who has been documenting IDF engineering operations in the area, said the villages of Al-Mansouri, Hadatha, and Tebnit may soon be completely destroyed. The IDF has not commented on the ongoing operations.
The new report follows footage released by Goldblatt earlier Tuesday (The Zioneer, 19:18) showing building demolitions near Al-Mansouri. The IDF has been conducting systematic demolitions of structures in several Shiite villages in southern Lebanon since June, including in Tebnit, Hadatha, Markaba, and Al-Tiri, according to Goldblatt's reports cited by The Zioneer. The military has not provided official confirmation or details on the scope of the operations.
The purpose of the demolitions remains unclear. No casualty figures have been reported.
