In a recorded interview aired on 103FM, Israeli occupation minister Miri Regev laid out clear intent to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon, claiming, "We have freedom of action up to the Litani. We're operating to flatten the entire area in order to prevent those residents from returning... Both the houses and of course the vegetation," to make the area uninhabitable and prevent southern Lebanese residents from returning.

￭ During the exchange, the interviewer repeatedly clarified whether any homes would remain livable, and Regev replied that in the area north of the IOF’s so-called "yellow line” of occupation, "a few Christian villages" will be allowed to remain, but "not a single Shia house." .....
