Hezbollah Strikes Israel | Metula Under Siege: Civilians Flee As Border Tensions Escalate

From the frontlines near the Israel-Lebanon border, NDTV’s ground report captures the stark reality in Metula – now largely deserted after relentless rocket fire from Hezbollah. Once a populated border town, Metula has turned into a near ghost town, with residents fleeing constant shelling and the threat of sudden attacks. Those who remain live under the shadow of incoming rockets, just metres away from the volatile frontier. Even as diplomatic talks continue, tensions on the ground show no signs of easing. With calls for a ceasefire competing against military escalation and buffer zone plans, civilians on both sides continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. This ground report brings you the human cost of a border conflict where fear, displacement, and uncertainty define everyday life.
