Nicholas Blanford worried about the safety of Israeli occupation selttlements: why can't Arabs live somewhere else, he asks

"There are perhaps 18 potentially vulnerable Israeli settlements lying beside the border. Many of them are connected to the rest of Israel only by a single road that could be severed by an attacking force. Some, such as Manara, opposite Mais al-Jabal, and Misgav Am, opposite Addaisseh, lie directly adjacent to the border fence and on top of an escarpment, potentially facilitating Hezbollah’s seizure of the settlements and subsequent defense against Israeli rescuers."

PS The headline of this story nicely summarizes his concern". (thanks Basim)
