Nabatieh, a city once described as southern Lebanon’s economic centre, has been transformed by Israeli strikes, according to Al Jazeera.

The report characterises the city as a “ghost town” as attacks intensify. The supplied material does not quantify the extent of damage or establish how many residents may have left.
