Naqra, southern Lebanon – He is wearing a green jacket, olive and jeans, and the mayor, Abbas Awad, stood next to the remains of the family’s house, where he lived with his wife and two children over the past fifteen years.

Awada and the 40 -year -old kareda used to welcome the city’s residents at the family home and host large family gatherings with his wife.

The house survived more than a year of war, including a 66 -day invasion, which witnessed the Israeli air strikes destroying a lot of infrastructure Lebanon.

After the ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese group, Hezbollah began in November, the Israeli forces demolished the house where the children of Awad grew up.

From the time when Hezbollah and Israel began fighting on October 8, 2023, until the ceasefire began on November 27, 2024, Israel killed nearly 4,000 people and left waves of destruction throughout Lebanon, especially in the south.

Despite the ceasefire, the Israeli army continued to attack Lebanon.

“The ceasefire” is only by name?

According to the ceasefire agreement, which was initially appointed to 60 days, Hezbollah was supposed to retreat north of the Letianian River, which runs across southern Lebanon. Israel was also asked to withdraw its forces from Lebanon, and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) would take over the south.

Many in Lebanon believe that the ceasefire will lead to Israeli attacks. But Israel continued to attack, and justifies its actions as trying to “dismantle and destroy” Hezbollah, which is a declared goal.

Among its actions deliberately destroying homes in the southern villages such as Naqra, the destroyers who fled violence and were hoping to return to their homes when he stopped.

“I still see her as it was,” Awad said quietly, looking at his home.

He referred to the entrance and described the design of the house. He said that the kitchen and the dining room was once a pile of concrete and steel – an Israeli bulldozer toppled the walls of his house.

There is still a TV standing between the debris, installed on the wall of the open living room and filled with lead holes.

He said, “They just wanted to destroy.”

His children, between the ages of 11 and 14, have not yet taken the ruins.

The Legal agenda, a non -profit research organization based in Beirut, found that Israel committed more than 855 violations of the ceasefire by late January.

Ameneh Mehvar, a senior analyst in the Middle East in ACLED, a data -raising organization, told Al -Jazeera that it has recorded “more than 330 air accidents and bombing” since the ceasefire.

The withdrawal was not

Nakra, which is located on the southern Lebanese border, was severely damaged during the war but was not invaded by the time when the ceasefire began.

In mid -December, the Israeli forces entered a click and reports began to appear that they were destroying homes and buildings there and in other villages in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli withdrawal was supposed to be completed by January 26. But despite the rejection of the government of Lebanon, the Israelis – with the support of the United States – announced that their presence would extend until February 18.

On Monday, Israel announced that it would “leave small quantities of temporary forces in five strategic points” in Lebanon.

The Israelis withdrew from a click in early January, allowing residents to see the remaining of their village and their homes after the random violence that analyzed them.

“Use bulldozers for revenge”

On a winding street behind the municipal building of Naqra, 75 -year -old is still saddened by fruit trees and the deliberate damage that surrounds it.

He went up to the rubble to reach his garden, explaining that he did not stop watering his trees until he had to evacuate.

“I did not leave them,” he said, a cigarette, lighter, yellow, does not leave his hands.

The grapes hanging from one tree, but the mango tree is located on the floor near it. It was torn by Israeli soldiers during the ceasefire, the strategic target is unknown.

He stood on the front balcony of the charred house in which he used to live with his wife, children and grandchildren, and explained that he had caught fire, with the upper floor now cannot be reached due to the destruction of the stairs.

He remained at home when the rest of his family escaped during the war. Finally, civil defense workers evacuated him last September when Israeli attacks intensified Lebanon, and went to join his family.

His house was fine when he left, as he explained, and he was only damaged during the ceasefire. Now the lower floor and the upper floors are charred, the entire structure should be supported by the columns.

He said, “They got bulldozers.” “They came to a click with bulldozers, for revenge.”

Even the family found some of their clothes that were launched on parts, supposed to be suspended by Israeli soldiers and shot them.

A click is a Shiite town often, and it is a population of which Hezbollah enjoys a great deal of support. In fact, Hezbollah flags were planted in the ruins of some devastating buildings in a click.

Regardless of this, the destruction of homes and civil infrastructure is prohibited under international law, and many Lebanese considered it a random punishment against Shiite societies throughout Lebanon.

“Not everyone Hezbollah,” said Shabi. “The Shiites are not always Hezbollah.”

“I miss my village”

Getting news about whether your home was still difficult during the war, but some villagers, such as Reem Tahir, discovered how to pay regular satellite images to revive them to find out what is going on.

Before the war, Taher turned a beautician but had to flee the frame when the bombing began.

The photos she was paying for her, showed that her house was intact, including on November 26, a day before the ceasefire.

But at 11 am on November 27, I received another report. After she survived the Israeli air strikes, her home was now in ruin.

“They blew up my house, settled my ground, and even enjoyed the cutting of trees,” she told the island of the island at the house that she rented in the Hoch neighborhood, an area that also witnessed its fair share of the destruction. The building was settled across the road.

“I miss eating coffee in the morning next to the sea. I miss our gatherings and evenings in the garden. I miss the invitation to pray from my village, nights of Ramadan … Clementine picked up from the tree.

“I miss everything about my village – sunset, pine trees, and shine from afar.”

“This ceasefire is a lie”

On February 13, when the island visited a click, almost every house was reduced to piles of debris and infrastructure in the ruins.

The electricity poles were pulled from the ground, the local school was distinguished by a bullet, and the bodies of the burned vehicles were deserted.

They destroyed the mosque, cemetery and infrastructure – roads, water and electricity. Anything provides livelihoods, destroyed. “

Some houses were drove by the Israeli soldiers, who left them scattered by wrapping food and supplies brought from Israel.

The walls were covered with Hebrew writing, most of them with transformation tables. But in one refrigerator, a soldier left a message: “We came to the dark.”

Sanad, Al -Jazeera Verification Agency, compared satellite photos from December 3, 2024 and January 19, 2025.

Pictures of December 3 show many structures, including Awada and municipal building, with little visible damage.

Pictures from January 19 displaying destroyed structures, including Awad’s house.

ACLed recorded 14 cases of the Israeli army, which carried out control and domestic explosions in a click between December 11, 2024 and January 6, 2025. According to their data, each incident included more than one house.

He sits on the remainder of his balcony, Shaibi, a smoker chain, surrounded by his family-children and grandchildren.

For many in a click, the promise of the ceasefire brought hope to return home. They never thought that their homes would harm or destroy during the ceasefire.

Between the blowing, Shabi said, “This is the ceasefire is a lie.”
