Southern Lebanon border villages worry over UNIFIL exit
The border Christian villages in South Lebanon—Rmeish, Dabil, and Ain Ebel—fear the consequences of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) withdrawal from the area, as they rely on coordination with it for mobility and the protection of residents. These villages link their ongoing economic and security livelihood to the presence of international forces. Their concerns include the loss of income sources for hundreds of families, the disappearance of jobs connected to these forces, as well as isolation and the lack of alternatives to facilitate their travel to Beirut or Tyre. The residents emphasize the necessity of continued support from the state and the army to safeguard their sovereignty, warning that an uncontrolled withdrawal could weaken the state further and threaten civilian lives—especially given the ongoing Israeli occupation of the area and the United Nations’ resumption of its legal responsibility to protect security and stability.
