Dream area, no question. But after 14 months of shelling by Hezbollah, the evacuated gem of Metulla near Lebanon has been badly damaged. Despite the ceasefire, no Israeli should return. Some do.
A week ago on Friday, Meital Katz, 45, checked on everything in her house in Metulla. Metulla has been under fire from the Lebanese Hezbollah for 14 months, but not her house, not the house of Meital Katz and her mother. “I posted a picture of our house and our street. Everyone was so happy,” she says. On Sunday, a Hezbollah rocket hit her house. It was the last impact in Metulla. Two days later, Israel and Lebanon concluded a ceasefire.
