Hashem Haidar, head of Lebanon's official Southern Council which is tasked with assessing the destruction, said 18 villages near the 120-kilometre long Israel-Lebanon border had each been "70 percent destroyed", with an estimated 45,000 homes lost.Military expert Hassan Jouni said that by destroying the villages and burning surrounding areas, Israel sought a clear a line of sight for its observation points.
