Charlotte Baris: Since the start of the war in the Middle East almost a year ago, you have certainly discovered new areas on the region’s map. I went to rummage in the World department cupboard to borrow one of them, very detailed. For example, we see Rafah and its border post, in the south of the Gaza Strip. But also the Golan, this plateau in the west of Syria, or even the entire complex division of the city of Jerusalem…
Today, we are going to look at Lebanon, precisely in the south of the country, on the border with Israel. What interests us is this river, the Litani, which once again finds itself at the heart of the war… To explain everything to us, I called on Hamdam Mostafavi, deputy editorial director, specialist in the region.
