The human rights organization Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) has called on the international community to take urgent action to prevent what it described as Israel’s plan to destroy border villages in southern Lebanon and block the return of displaced civilians. The group urged countries to impose arms and economic sanctions to halt what it termed Israel’s ongoing repression and to prevent a long-term occupation of southern Lebanon.
The appeal follows remarks by Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, who acknowledged plans to turn southern Lebanon into ruins similar to Gaza and depopulate the area. Human rights activists warned that such actions could amount to ethnic cleansing. Last week, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich suggested making the Litani River, which flows about 30 kilometers inside Lebanon, Israel’s new northern border.
DAWN’s Israel-Palestine director Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man said Israel is using the war with Iran as a cover to accelerate territorial expansion, now targeting Lebanon. He warned that only real and severe consequences could deter Israel, urging states to act before it is too late.
