TO GO WITH: Israel-Palestinians-conflict-Lebanon-nature
A flock of pelicans fly over the Hula valley in northern Israel near the border with Lebanon during their winter migration from Europe to Africa, on October 29, 2024. Across northern Israel's nature reserves, the ecological toll of the war between Israel and Hezbollah militants is laid bare. The impact is particularly clear at the Agamon Hula Valley Nature Reserve, where all that remains in some areas after more than a year of Hezbollah rocket fire from Lebanon are burned plants and cinder-strewn soil.
