Ain Ebel (Arabic: عين إبل; Syriac: ܥܝܢ ܐܒܠ) is a village located in the Lebanese Upper Galilee[1] in the Caza of Bint Jbeil in the Nabatieh Governorate in Lebanon, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Beirut. Its inhabitants are predominantly Christian.[2]
Since October 2023, Hezbollah, an Islamist Shiite militant group, has been using the area as a launching point for attacks on Israel. This prompted many villagers, particularly women and children, to flee the area and seek safety in Beirut.[3][4]
