What is the border like?

The border between Israel and Lebanon, known as the Blue Line, is a heavily militarised and often tense region. It's frequently a flashpoint for conflict, with various armed groups operating alongside national armies. The presence of unexploded ordnance is a grim reminder of past hostilities and the ongoing security challenges faced by communities like Neot Mordechai, close to the frontier.
