War between Israel and Hamas: extreme tension on the Lebanese border
(France 2)
An area in northern Israel, bordering Lebanon, has been evacuated of most of its residents following attacks by Lebanese Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas.
In Metula (Israel), an area has been banned by the army, evacuated of most of its inhabitants. Behind a wall, Lebanon, with Hezbollah allied with Hamas, carries out its attacks. At 75, Moshe Weinstein refuses to leave, even if his land is located below the positions of the Shiite militia.
Since October 7, Hezbollah, in support of the terrorist group Hamas, has launched hundreds of attacks on northern Israel. Metula, located on the front line, has been particularly targeted and has suffered extensive damage.
Metula has become a ghost town. Only about ten people remain out of 3,000 inhabitants. Among the few occupants, David, an armed farmer, watches over his house and refuses to become one of the 60,000 evacuees from the north of the country.I don’t know why we fled, our government is weak”he assures. A woman and her daughter fled and have been changing hotels for ten months.
Many residents would like the Israeli army to reoccupy southern Lebanon to ““remove the threat” and go home.
