Recent reports from Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) indicate that Israeli forces have conducted a series of demolitions across southern Lebanese villages, specifically identifying areas such as al-Mansouri and Khiam. These operations are part of ongoing military activity in the border region.

Simultaneously, the Lebanese Health Ministry has reported that the Meiss El-Jabal Hospital was set on fire during these operations. The ministry stated that the facility had recently undergone renovations and was equipped with modern medical technology intended to serve the local population. In response to the damage, the Lebanese government has formally labeled the destruction of the hospital as a 'full-fledged war crime.'

While the reports from Lebanese state media and the Health Ministry provide specific locations and characterizations of the events, there has been no immediate confirmation or detailed statement from the Israeli military regarding the specific claims of targeting the hospital or the extent of the demolitions in these villages. The situation remains fluid, with international observers monitoring the impact of these military actions on civilian infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
