Video: Lebanese villagers describe life under Israeli control in Halta A report by Channel 4's foreign correspondent Secunder Kermani shows the reality of life in the southern Lebanese village of Halta under Israeli occupation. Israel has established a so-called 'Yellow Line', akin to that in Gaza, as it has expanded its invasion of Lebanon and placed large swathes of territory in the south under its control. Kermani spoke to residents of the village, including Ali Abdel Aal, whose son Mohammed was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers while he was out on the street observing an arrest.
