The Israeli army has been booby-trapping and destroying entire neighborhoods in cities and towns in south Lebanon, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Entire streets and neighborhoods in 37 towns have been wiped out and homes have been destroyed, NNA said.

“More than 40,000 residential units have been completely destroyed. This is happening in an area three kilometers deep (from the border) that extends from Naqoura to the outskirts of Khiam,” the agency added.
