Satellite imagery shows significant destruction in the Shiite village of Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon between June 24 and June 29, according to an Israeli security-focused channel. The commentator says the IDF is replicating Gaza-style demolition in the security zone and intends to raze more villages in the area. The IDF has not commented.
Satellite imagery posted by the security-focused channel "Yair Goldblatt - Security and Middle East" on Monday, June 29, shows significant flattening of built-up areas in the Shiite village of Majdal Zoun between June 24 and June 29. The post asserts that the IDF is systematically destroying villages within its declared security zone in southern Lebanon, drawing a direct comparison to Gaza-style demolition, and that the military intends to continue razing more villages.
These are the latest images of destruction in Majdal Zoun following a series of IDF operations targeting Hezbollah infrastructure there. As The Zioneer reported, on the evening of Sunday, June 28—spanning versions 2 through 10 of the thread—the IDF confirmed it had destroyed a 200-meter underground Hezbollah drone facility in the village, built with Iranian technology and containing hundreds of weapons and four launch shafts aimed at Israel. Earlier reports by The Zioneer on Saturday, June 13, cited Lebanon's National News Agency that the IDF had begun booby-trapping and detonating buildings in the same village.
The demolition campaign in southern Lebanon has been ongoing for weeks. The Zioneer has reported multiple controlled demolition operations in villages such as Tebnit, Hadatha, and Rashaf since mid-June, and a UNIFIL source cited by an Israeli news channel on June 6 said the IDF had stopped such activities—a statement contradicted by subsequent events.
The latest satellite imagery remains single-sourced and unverified by the IDF. It is not clear whether the flattening shown is the result of the known tunnel demolition on June 28 or additional, separate operations.
