IDF probes video showing soldiers destroying solar panels in Christian-Lebanese village
The military said the damage to solar panels and water infrastructure in Debel is under investigation.
- On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces launched an investigation after footage published by Lebanese media showed soldiers damaging solar panels in the Christian village of Debel, stating the actions do not align with its values.
- Debel, a Christian community not ordered to evacuate, has also seen reports of damage to water infrastructure, homes, and roads according to Lebanese media outlets.
- Previously, an IDF soldier smashed a statue of Jesus in the same village last week; that soldier and the photographer were removed from combat duty and sentenced to 30 days of military detention.
- The IDF confirmed the incident is under investigation and command measures will follow findings; while the military insists it targets only Hezbollah infrastructure, critics argue the destruction undermines such claims.
- Since early March, Hezbollah has been carrying out daily attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon; ongoing military operations continue to complicate security conditions along the border.
