Lebanese on the edge of Israel's occupation live with fear and rising tensions
Israel has expanded its control up to 12 kilometers deep and published a list of 53 mostly Shiite towns where residents cannot return.
- On Thursday, Israel expanded its security zone in southern Lebanon up to 7 miles deep, adding eight predominantly Shiite villages to a list of 53 where residents are barred from returning.
- Officials believe Iran-backed Shiite Hezbollah militants are entrenched in residential areas, prompting the military to push out the predominantly Shiite population and demolish towns.
- Residents in neighboring Christian, Sunni, and Druze areas turn away displaced Shiites, fearing Israeli eviction; Qlayaa Mayor Hanna Daher reported bombing incidents after residents hosted displaced friends.
- Casualties have mounted among civilians, including a priest killed by shelling in Qlayaa, while Dibbine resident Milia El-Cheikh remains unable to return to her home.
- Israeli forces maintain they will remain in southern Lebanon for self-defense, even as an interim peace deal between the United States and Iran appears to be holding.
