South Lebanon Homes Burn, Fisherman Captured As Israel Ceasefire Violations Continue

Israeli DM threatens total destruction of Hezbollah over surveillance drone

As it does virtually weekly, Israel reiterated today that civilians are not to return to their homes in any areas of southern Lebanon Israel currently occupies. This apparently includes not just villages, but the Mediterranean Sea as well, as an Israeli military boat captured a Lebanese fisherman near the coast at Ras Naqoura.

Naqoura is the southernmost Lebanese coastal village, only a couple of miles from the Israeli border. There is no specific Israeli order against fishing there, however, and this is just another expansion of an open-ended occupation of Lebanese territory.

Earlier in the weekend, Israel was reportedly “ withdrawing ” from the western part of southern Lebanon. This, in spite of an IDF surveillance post overlooking the Tyre District, which includes Naqoura. Even fishing in the presence of Israeli forces isn’t allowed apparently, so the withdrawal seems very much overstated.

Not that Israel hasn’t withdrawn from a few places. Further east, Israeli troops did leave the village of Ayta ash-Shab last week. Reporters from Asharq al-Awsat returned to the village with residents, and found that 90% of homes were totally destroyed, and any remaining buildings have sustained major damage. Water and electricity infrastructure in the border village was also totally destroyed.

This is a recurring theme, as throughout the “ceasefire” Israel continued to demolish and burn homes, and the few places the IDF abandoned were those it had finished destroying. Over the weekend, there were additional reports of Israeli troops burning homes in the Marjayoun District.
