The Israel Defense Forces said on Monday that five Israeli civilians have been killed by Hezbollah attacks and 80,000 civilians have evacuated their homes.
Hezbollah, which means “Party of God” in Arabic, has been designated by the United States and several other nations as a terrorist group.
The group is also a political party in Lebanon and was engaged in a 34-day military conflict with Israel in 2006, which was set off by the kidnapping and killing of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah.
Citing “data” it obtained, ACN said that in one border village in Lebanon, Alma Al-Shaab, 15 homes have been destroyed by missile attacks.
Many of the displaced Lebanese Christians have been offered safety with other families in the capital city of Beirut, but some of those families chose to return to their destroyed homes because there is a shortage of “long-term shelter” in certain areas of Lebanon, ACN reported.
Xavier Stephen Bisits, ACN’s head of projects in Lebanon, said that bombing is a daily occurrence and that the streets are “very quiet.”
