And we want them to be buried in the family cemetery. But unfortunately, we're unable to do that. So we're now having to have to bury them in a temporary burial site until the situation becomes safe enough for us to take them to the south," says Wael. Israel says it wants to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and maintain control of territory some 30 km north of its border with Lebanon. Support stories that matter.
