Description
The Israeli military has released a map of a so-called security zone in southern Lebanon for the first time, where thousands of its troops remain, despite a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Israeli media is reporting that the military is using private contractors with bulldozers to demolish homes and schools in Lebanese villages within this zone.
The leaders of Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire last week.
More than a million people in Lebanon have been displaced by the fighting and more than two-thousand people killed, according to the Lebanese health ministry.
