Christian areas scattered across Hezbollah-dominated southern Lebanon find themselves on the front line of a fight that few see as theirs.
From her balcony on the edge of this Lebanese border village, Greta Nakhleh-Allam, 33, can see Israel in almost every direction. And every morning, as the shelling between the Israeli army and Hezbollah militants starts anew, she wonders whether the clashes will end or turn into an all-consuming conflagration. 'I'm tired of this war, tired of the life we're living,' said Nakhleh-Allam, watching her 11-year-old son Jacob chase the family dog, Bella.
And Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has said any Israeli offensive would spur combat with 'no restraint and no rules and no ceilings.' Nevertheless, Hezbollah has to take Lebanon's other communities into consideration, said Michael Young, a Lebanon expert with the Carnegie Middle East Center. 'Everyone knows a war is the worst option, and yet Hezbollah has embarked the country on this conflict,' he said.
