Residents of southern Lebanon gather to watch Israeli drones drop explosives on their village
Israeli drones and controlled blasts destroy homes and a public school as more than 300,000 people remain displaced in Lebanon, officials said.
- Early Friday, the Israeli military detonated Mansouri's public school, Lebanese state media reported, as residents watched from neighboring Hanniyeh; watching Israeli drones drop explosives has become a daily ritual for those who fled weeks ago.
- Since the June truce, active fighting has subsided but the Israeli military occupies large swaths of southern Lebanon, regularly carrying out controlled demolitions despite unclear justification beyond Israel's stated ceasefire violation claims.
- Tobacco farmer Ali Hussein Ghanem from Mansouri now shelters with relatives in Hanniyeh, watching massive clouds of smoke billow from his former village as residents debate which neighbors' homes have been destroyed.
- Villagers decry the Lebanese government's lack of response, with residents saying authorities abandoned the village; one resident stated, 'We have lost our property, our orchards, and all our livelihoods. The state is not really doing anything.'
- Despite a June framework agreement stipulating Israeli withdrawal as Hezbollah disarms, implementation has stalled with little progress; Lebanese and Israeli officials are expected to meet for talks in Rome later this month, but no political solution appears in sight.
