Israeli army razes monastery, nuns’ school in south Lebanon

The Israeli army demolished a monastery and a school run by the Sisters of the Holy Saviour in the southern Lebanese town of Yaroun, the state National News Agency reported.

The school “was considered one of the most prominent educational institutions in the region,” having educated thousands of students over the years from various towns in the Bint Jbeil district, the agency said on Friday.

Its targeting represents “a major loss at both the educational and social levels,” it added.

Israel has waged an offensive in Lebanon since March 2, killing more than 2,600 people and displacing over 1 million.
