Lebanon decries Israeli demolition of homes in occupied areas

The Israeli army has been destroying homes in areas of southern Lebanon it has occupied since agreeing last week to a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
It says the homes were used as outposts by the Iran-backed militant group.
But residents, Lebanese officials and U.N. peacekeepers worry the demolitions are happening on such a wide scale that large numbers of people displaced by the war will have nowhere to return if the fragile truce holds.
Lebanese officials plan to raise the issue of widespread demolitions on Thursday when they hold ceasefire talks with their Israeli counterparts in Washington.
