A massive Israeli explosion in the southern Lebanese town of Khiam late on Tuesday damaged homes and other buildings in surrounding towns, forcing at least one school to close and cutting power to nearby areas.

The blast occurred at around midnight, when Israeli forces reportedly demolished several chalets in the hilltop town, which sits within the so-called 'Yellow Line' occupied area.

Nasser Khdour, Middle East Assistant Research Manager at the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, said more than 320 property destruction events were recorded in August, the highest monthly figure so far, followed by another 210 between 1 and 21 September.
