Similar to Gaza... Israel is wiping out towns in southern Lebanon

Images taken from space revealed that towns and villages in southern Lebanon were wiped out and razed to the ground, as a result of Israeli raids and demolitions that have been ongoing for weeks.
A CNN analysis of satellite images reveals the extent of the destruction. Hundreds of buildings, most of which appear to be houses, have been razed to the ground or have become uninhabitable, citing the towns of Bint Jbeil and Aita al-Shaab.
Pictures attributed to the American company Boeing, and video clips taken after the ceasefire was announced on April 16, show the continuation of demolition operations at an accelerating pace, with bulldozers, excavators, and armored vehicles clearly visible.
Human rights organizations sounded the alarm, warning that the Israeli attack mimics the methods used in the Gaza Strip, starting with violent strikes on vital infrastructure and health facilities, to the policy of massive demolition or vandalism of buildings.
