"Reporting from Berket al-Naqqar near Shebaa, Courtney Bonneau (@cbonneauimages), photojournalist and VPol contributor, documents life inside Israel’s imposed “buffer zone,” where a US-Israeli plan seeks to eth-ic-lly cle-nse border towns and establish the so-called “Trump economic zone,” in an attempt to forcibly displace those who continue to resist the Israeli occupation. ￭ On August 14, Israel dropped flyers marking the area as a k-ll zone. A shepherd, interviewed by Bonneau, explained: “They drew a red line from the dirt road to the top of the mountain… we don’t even take a step and they open f-re from above,” adding that Israel had previously launched a dr-ne str-ke to terr-rize him by att-cking his goats. Later that night, Israel b-mbed the road the shepherd mentioned. ￭ The shepherd insisted: “We are civilians. We won’t leave our livelihoods. We live in the village and we will stay there. We can’t leave it,” as he detailed Israel’s daily violations despite the November 2024 ceasefire. #VPol" - Source
