Times Of Israel: Hezbollah bombardments take heavy toll on nature in northern Israel
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has severely impacted northern Israel's ecology, particularly in nature reserves like Hula Valley. Wildlife, including birds, is suffering from stress due to war noises, while habitat destruction from rocket fire has led to a significant decline in bird populations.
