Many north Israel residents see Lebanon deal as 'surrender agreement'
Residents of northern Israel – many of whom have been displaced by the conflict with Hezbollah, along with residents of southern Lebanon across the border – have expressed concern about the looming ceasefire deal.
Nizan Zeevi, who lives north of Kiryat Shmona, told CNN many residents view the deal as a “surrender agreement.”
“Our government is going to sign a very irresponsible agreement that is only a replay of the same agreement” signed to end the war in 2006, Zeevi said.
He said he feared the deal would in time allow fighters in the Radwan Force, Hezbollah’s special operation unit, to move closer to the border once more and “live right next to” him and his family.
“It’s my duty to my children to make sure that there is no chance for another October 7,” he said, referring to the Hamas attacks on southern Israel more than a year ago.
