Hezbollah’s “Return to Odaissieh” Campaign

Residents of the village of Adaisseh, near the border in the contact line area with Israel, along with various volunteers, launched the “Returning to Adaisseh” campaign. Volunteers conducted a series of visits to the homes of Adaisseh residents currently in the village, providing them with assistance. As part of the effort, various organizations supplied hot meals, food packages, blankets, diapers, and medicines. Among the organizations active in the village is the “We Are All With You” association (transliterated as “Kulluna Haddak”), whose members can be seen in the photo and whose main offices are in Sidon. Additionally, water quantities were distributed to families who recently returned to live in the village. In most villages near the border, it was reported during the war that 90 to 100 percent of residents had abandoned their homes. These villages effectively served as a large military infrastructure for Hezbollah, aimed, among other things, at providing a platform for its invasion plan into the Galilee. IDF airstrikes and ground operations during the war targeted these villages. The return of displaced residents to the contact line area with Israel must not be allowed. Such a return would enable Hezbollah to once again use residents as human shields for the military infrastructure it seeks to rebuild near the border with Israel.
