Since the start of the military escalation about 6 months ago, the Israeli border settlements with Lebanon have been affected in an unprecedented way. The losses resulting from the opening of the northern front affected the agricultural, industrial and tourism sectors.

This reality also forced the Israeli government to implement an early plan for the mandatory evacuation of tens of thousands of residents from 28 border towns. The Israeli authorities revealed in early February that more than 500 homes, buildings, and shops had been damaged. According to a report broadcast by Al Jazeera, the direct damage was concentrated in the town of Shlomi.
