Ain Ebel (Arabic: عين إبل; Syriac: ܥܝܢ ܐܒܠ) is a Lebanese village [1] in the Nabatieh/Nabatiye Governorate, about 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Beirut. Its inhabitants are predominantly Christian.[2]
As cross-border shelling between Hezbollah and Israel has increased, many residents, especially women and children, have fled to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.[3]
