Israeli military actions caused significant damage in northern Israel, reports reveal

Israeli Army Radio, referencing figures provided by minister Ze’ev Elkin, has disclosed that approximately 2,900 structures in northern Israel were destroyed or damaged during the conflict with Hezbollah.

Surprisingly, nearly 20 percent of this devastation was attributed to the Israeli military’s own operations. The financial toll of the destruction is estimated at a staggering 9 billion shekels ($2.5bn).  

Despite the widespread displacement, with 67,500 Israelis forced to flee their homes, only around 19,000 have been able to return so far.
