Israeli forces have destroyed approximately 80 percent of the Lebanese border town of Bint Jbeil, rendering it uninhabitable, the Ma'an news agency reported. The extensive damage has left the municipality unable to sustain civilian life.

Bint Jbeil lies in southern Lebanon near the Israeli border, a region that has faced repeated military operations during the recent conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
