Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 10:04

TL;DR

Lebanese channels report this morning that Israeli forces are demolishing houses and setting them on fire in the village of Markaba, in the Marjeyoun district of southern Lebanon — a second consecutive day of such activity there. The reports are attributed to Lebanese outlets; no Israeli confirmation has been issued.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Lebanese channels report that the IDF is demolishing houses and setting them on fire in the village of Markaba (Marjayoun District) this morning, Friday, June 26.

As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday at 09:44, similar activity was underway in the same village — the current report indicates operations have continued into a second consecutive day. The activity follows a pattern of IDF engineering operations in southern Lebanon's contact-line villages. On Thursday, June 25, The Zioneer reported that the IDF began demolishing houses in the village of Ein Arab, also in southern Lebanon. Earlier this week, on Wednesday, June 17, Lebanese media reported controlled demolitions of buildings in an unspecified southern Lebanese village. Over the past several weeks, demolition operations have been documented in the villages of Maroun al-Ras, Majdal Zoun, and others.

The reports lack independent confirmation or an Israeli military statement. The IDF's official stance has not commented on these specific operations.
