#Report | In Southern Lebanon, this year’s olive harvest is constrained by the realities of war and Israeli occupation. In Rashaya al-Foukhar, Israeli forces are stationed just a few kilometers away, beyond the "yellow line"—the line of occupation. This year, authorization for most areas arrived only in the last few days. In Kfar Shuba, located just a few kilometers from the border, tensions are even higher. Last week, an Israeli bulldozer uprooted olive trees, and an Israeli patrol ordered farmers to leave their fields. 🎥 Report by @Moe_Yassn and @TeaZiade from southern Lebanon.
