Israel-Lebanon Border Communities Rebuild Amid Ongoing Strikes and Displacement
More than 55,000 residents have returned to northern Israel border towns despite 60% home damage and ongoing strikes, with many still facing displacement and economic hardship.
- In recent weeks, residents in border towns have begun returning, as Israel's government says about 55,000 displaced residents have returned while Metula remains half empty and struggling to rebuild.
- Hezbollah's refusal to disarm has kept tensions high, as Israel continues strikes into southern Lebanon several times a week, targeting Hezbollah sites, while accusing Lebanon's government of inaction.
- In Metula, just over half of the 1,700 residents are back, while local officials report 60% of homes damaged from rocket fire, among the 64,000 displaced in fall 2023.
- Struggling residents and business owners say promised aid has not reached them, with Ilan Rosenfeld reporting no assistance despite Israel's hundreds of millions invested; Zeev Elkin's spokesman blamed political barriers.
- With updated shelter lists, last week’s strike in Beirut killed Hezbollah's top military commander, and the U.N. reports at least 127 civilians dead since the ceasefire, with Morris Tidball-Binz calling the strikes `war crimes`.
