Lebanon's Unstable Ground

Israeli movements and measures are putting pressure on residents of villages along southern Lebanon’s border. In Kfar Shouba, an Israeli patrol stopped residents and checked their IDs despite prior coordination with the army and the “Mechanism” Committee, while four Merkava tanks advanced and took up positions east of the town. The movements have raised concerns that restrictions could be imposed on residents’ movement and that they may be forced to leave their towns.
