IDF soldier smashes statue of Jesus in Lebanon
A picture circulating on social media shows an Israeli soldier smashing a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer. The Guardian writes.
The Israeli military has analyzed the picture and concluded that it is authentic, they write on X. The statue is said to have been in the village of Debel in southern Lebanon. The IDF says that they are taking the incident seriously and that the soldier's behavior "goes against the values expected of the troops".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also spoken out about the incident.
"Yesterday, like the overwhelming majority of Israelis, I was shocked and saddened to hear that an IDF soldier damaged a Catholic religious icon in southern Lebanon", he writes on X.
At the same time, there are reports that Israel has hired civilian contractors to demolish villages in the occupied territories in southern Lebanon.
Israel demolishes villages in Lebanon – despite ceasefire
The IDF continues to demolish buildings in southern Lebanon despite the ceasefire, writes The Guardian.
The Israeli army is said to have hired contractors to demolish the buildings. Some are paid a daily wage for the work, while others are said to be paid based on the number of buildings they destroy, according to the Israeli Haaretz. Up to 20 excavators are said to be in use in one village.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has previously said that “all houses in villages near the border in Lebanon will be demolished” in the same way as they were done in Gaza. He says that Lebanese people will be allowed to return when Israelis are safe.
The method is being used systematically to make areas uninhabitable and experts question whether there will be anything to return to, the newspaper writes.
IDF releases map of occupied villages in Lebanon
The Israeli military has released a map of the villages it has taken control of in Lebanon, writes The Guardian. It concerns about a dozen villages in the southern parts of the country and extends from the eastern side to the western side.
The area extends between five and ten kilometers inland and is intended to be a "buffer zone" with the aim of protecting Israel from attacks, according to the Israeli military. The reason that the forces remain in place despite the ceasefire is that Hezbollah is still active.
At the same time, the Israeli military issued a warning on Monday, urging Lebanese residents not to return to their villages for security reasons.
