Israel erases South Lebanon's history by demolishing historic homes
The destruction of homes and heritage landmarks in South Lebanon, particularly in the city of Nabatiyah, as a result of Israeli shelling, has led to the devastation of 147 historic houses dating back between 80 and 110 years. Among these is the house of Youssef Bek Azain, which has been transformed into an important cultural and historical center. Several other political and historical buildings, centuries old, have also been damaged. The aim of this destruction is to erase the region's cultural and historical heritage. This pattern appears to be deliberate and constitutes an assault on the collective memory, both cultural and political. It threatens to erase South Lebanon’s cultural and historical identity, with UNESCO issuing warnings and expressing concern over significant heritage sites that are at risk of disappearing.
