  "summary": "Israeli forces have demolished an elderly care home in Houla, a town in southern Lebanon, amid ongoing cross-border tensions, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency. The agency reported that the demolition targeted an elderly care facility in the Marjayoun district of southern Lebanon. The situation has been exacerbated by ongoing Israeli escalation against villages and towns in southern Lebanon, despite an agreement between Beirut and Tel Aviv for a gradual Israeli withdrawal as part of US-mediated negotiations. Israel occupies areas in southern Lebanon, some since decades ago and others since the 2023–2024 conflict, and has expanded its presence during the current hostilities.",
