The laws of war prohibit the deliberate destruction of civilian homes, except when necessary for lawful military reasons.<br \/>\n\u200c<br \/>\nThe Israel Defense Forces has said it is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure such as tunnels and military facilities, which it claims the armed group has embedded in civilian homes, through these demolitions.<br \/>\n\u200c<br \/>\nThe Guardian journalist Will Christou asks what the future may look like for Lebanon, as fears grow Israel could replicate a campaign similar to its operation in Gaza, and for people like Hajo who are unsure of when they can return to their homes.<br \/>\n\u200c<br \/>\nThe Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
