Since the attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel, the border war with Lebanon, i.e. with the Islamist Hezbollah militia, threatens to escalate. The "Krone" took a look around the world's most dangerous border with the Red Cross.

"It was Djamal's 27th birthday and also the anniversary of his death. An Israeli drone fired a missile and my nephew was hit and blown to pieces in front of me," says Almas. The Lebanese woman (40) has since fled the border area and found shelter in a Red Cross camp. Thoughtful, not to say lost, she holds the picture of her brother's son up to the camera, "but he wasn't a Hezbollah fighter."
