​Israeli ​forces have ‌carried out varying ​degrees of destruction in ‌39 villages in southern Lebanon since a ceasefire in the war ‌with Hezbollah last week, ‌a senior Hezbollah-allied politician said on Monday.

Ali Hassan Khalil, a ⁠top ​aide ⁠to Lebanon's Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, ⁠said the powerful explosions carried ​out by Israeli forces had destroyed ⁠civilian homes in the ⁠south ​and this amounted to "a clear war crime".

The Israeli ⁠military has said it is ⁠acting ⁠against Hezbollah infrastructure in the south.
