Israel destroys villages in Lebanon: the dead will not rest

The article reports on Israeli military actions in southern Lebanon, where Israeli forces have destroyed over 60 border villages, including cemeteries, which are protected under international law. Residents like Tarek Mazraani describe the destruction of graves and the loss of cultural and historical sites, emphasizing the emotional and psychological impact on families. Mazraani, who has founded a citizens' initiative, calls for the Lebanese government to allow displaced people to return, assist in rebuilding their homes, and halt negotiations with Israel until the destruction stops. Hussein Chaabane, working with the Lebanese organization Legal Agenda, documents these acts as war crimes, citing evidence from the village of Mhaibib, where houses were deliberately demolished and cemeteries erased. The pattern of systematic destruction suggests an intent to erase memories and connections to land and history.
