The town of Kfar Kila has been left in ruins by the Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon, according to videos geolocated by CNN.

Kfar Kila, which is across the Lebanese border from the Israeli settlement of Metula, has been targeted by shelling since cross-border fire between the Israeli army and Hezbollah intensified following the outbreak of the war in Gaza last October. Israeli troops are now on the ground in southern Lebanon fighting the Iran-backed militant group.

In a video from October 16, an unnamed Israel Defense Forces soldier stands next to an Israeli flag hoisted in Kfar Kila saying: “What we see here, you can look around, is truly a huge shout-out to all the IDF soldiers.”

Addressing the residents of Metula, the soldier says the IDF is staying in the area until “there is nothing here, only when they do not return here.”

The official Lebanese National News Agency reported another round of Israeli strikes on the town Saturday. Hezbollah, meanwhile, said it had fired artillery shells at a group of Israeli soldiers at Fatima Gate, the border point in Kfar Kila.
