'We live in darkness': Bombed-out Metula's last few residents hope to rebuild

When darkness descends on Metula, Tamira Lang, one of the town's last remaining residents, switches off her house lights to avoid detection by the Hezbollah terror group, with the border barely a kilometer away. Some 60,000 northerners -- including most of Metula's roughly 2,200 residents -- remain displaced amid Hezbollah's relentless rocket fire, which began a day after Hamas's shock assault. Parts of Metula, which was founded in 1896, have been destroyed, with many houses smashed up by mortars or missiles fired from the Lebanese villages that surround the enclave on which it is built, hundreds of meters (yards) away.
