> The Lebanese Christian town of Debel lies just a few kilometers from Israel’s border, inside what Israel calls a “yellow zone”—a self-declared security area extending about 10 kilometers into southern Lebanon. Nearby predominantly Shiite towns have been evacuated and partly or completely destroyed by the Israeli military. Debel is one of three Christian towns in southern Lebanon where residents remain.
