‘Israeli’ soldiers film joking house tour moments before blowing up Lebanese home

• Footage shared by Genocide Tracker shows Israeli soldiers jokingly giving a mock tour of a displaced Lebanese family’s home before rigging it with explosives and detonating it.
• One soldier appears to say “welcome to my house” during the tour, treating the property as a backdrop for a prank.

‘Israeli’ soldiers filmed themselves giving a mock tour of a displaced Lebanese family’s home, jokingly welcoming viewers inside before rigging the property with explosives and detonating it, in footage shared by Genocide Tracker on Tuesday.

The video shows the soldiers treating the house tour as a prank, with one appearing to say “welcome to my house” as they show off the property moments before its destruction.

The footage offers a disturbing glimpse into the destruction of civilian homes in southern Lebanon, where ‘Israeli’ military demolitions have continued despite a ceasefire. The family whose home was destroyed has not been identified, and the precise location of the incident has not been independently verified.

The demolition is part of a wider pattern of destruction across southern Lebanon, where residents have faced the prospect of returning to communities reduced to rubble.

On Oct. 3, Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that ‘Israeli’ troops planted explosives in a school in Houla, in the Marjayoun district, and blew it up. The agency also reported homes being set on fire and shelling in several southern towns. 

Amnesty International has also documented extensive destruction of civilian structures in southern Lebanon, including demolitions carried out using explosives and bulldozers. Its investigation found that some destruction during the previous ceasefire was not justified by imperative military necessity, raising concerns over violations of international humanitarian law. 

International humanitarian law prohibits the destruction of civilian property unless rendered absolutely necessary by military operations. In occupied territory, such destruction is prohibited unless justified by imperative military necessity.
