The Israel Defense Forces have destroyed a school in the city of Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon. The IDF stated the action was taken after discovering a significant Hezbollah weapons cache inside the building. However, local sources and social media posts are now disputing this claim, asserting the target was a civilian school and not a military facility. The destruction of the school has prompted widespread closures of educational institutions in the region due to security fears.
