The head of Metula in the north, near the Lebanon border, has decried the new state of affairs in the vicinity of his town, with communities emptied due to the threat from Hezbollah.

“In effect, Israel has formed a security zone 5 kilometers south of the border,” Mayor David Azoulay says according to Walla news, referencing the former “security zone” Israel once held in south Lebanon.

“I call on Israel to form a [security] zone of 4-5 kilometers north of the border,” he says.

“We are told that [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah won’t start a war, but we’re already at war.”
