Israel Warns South Lebanon Residents

HeadlineAug 16, 2006

Israel continues its blockade of Lebanese ports and has warned residents not to head south of the Litani. On Tuesday, Israel dropped leaflets warning residents south Lebanon will: “remain dangerous” before the deployment of international forces. Thousands of Lebanese are ignoring the threats and making their way home.

  • Manar Yehyra, a resident of Taibeh: “We tried to stay in our home but a shell landed behind our house. We just arrived and don’t know what happened to our house. We are the first ones to arrive to our village.”
