Lebanese PM accuses Israel of 'scorched-earth policy' while defending ceasefire talks
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam accused Israel of pursuing a “scorched-earth policy” as part of its operations against Hezbollah, The Guardian reported on Sunday.
In a televised address on Saturday, Salam called the IDF’s actions a “collective punishment” against southern Lebanese residents by “destroying towns and villages, and forcing their inhabitants into exile.”
On Sunday morning, the IDF issued an evacuation order for all residents of southern Lebanon, especially those living south of the Zahleh River. Last week, the IDF issued several evacuation orders for numerous villages in the area.
