According to the report on Wednesday, the military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.

As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.

“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”
