FRANCE 24 reports from Israel’s northern border where some villagers refuse to evacuate

despite the almost daily alerts Hassan
has decided to remain in his home
Village of Arab al- ramsh he’s been
working in a nearby kibuts for 24 years
and continues to tend to the avocado and
peach trees here just 200 met from the
blue line that separates Lebanon from
the North of
Israel yes I’m scared but we have to
keep leaving we can just stay at home
and sleep all
day has not been going on for a week or
a month it has been going on for 6
months and might continue for another 2
years who
knows before the war broke out 40 people
worked here now there’s just three of
them left to farm the 12 hectares of
land there is not enough of us so we
cannot get all the work
done look there should be three of them
per Branch it’s too tight
the workers won’t have a choice but to
let some of these peaches go bad they’ve
already lost thousands of shekels worth
of
produce there is an avocado field over
there next to the kibuts but we’re not
allowed to go
there we have to ask for permission from
the
military sometimes they tell us it’s
forbidden or call us to tell us to leave
and we comply
1,800 people lived in arabam before the
war but most residents defied the
evacuation order and many of those who
left have already returned to their
homes hezb launched an attack on a
community center on the 17th of April
one soldier was killed while 13 of them
as well as four civilians were
injured they knew that soldiers were
standing guard
here he shows us some of the damage
the missile destroyed the roof they were
soldiers inside it’s scary because we
don’t feel safe attacks like this could
happen at any
moment but even more worrying for the
residents is the fear that an open War
could break out

Rocket fire from Hezbollah has left areas in the north of Israel almost empty after the army ordered the evacuation of around 60,000 residents. But some have decided to remain. FRANCE 24’s team on the ground met with one of them in the Bedouin village of Arab al Aramshe.
