The Israeli army is preparing to present a political leadership plan that includes the destruction of villages in southern Lebanon. This is reported by Channel 12, citing sources familiar with the discussions.
According to the Israeli television station's report, the country's military authorities are preparing a proposal for the political leadership that includes the destruction of villages in southern Lebanon, as part of broader plans to expand the so-called security zone along the border.
The same information indicates that this specific strategy is part of efforts to strengthen control in the border areas, where Israel seeks to create greater security depth against threats it assesses as coming from armed organizations operating in southern Lebanon. According to sources cited by Channel 12, one of the main objectives of the plan is to ensure that residents of villages located near the border do not return to permanently settle in the specific areas, which is estimated to facilitate the maintenance of an expanded preventive zone.
The same information notes that the plan is in the preparation phase and is expected to be presented to the political leadership for assessment and decision-making, while there has been no official confirmation from Israeli authorities regarding the details of the proposal.
