Residents are cautiously returning to shattered villages in southern Lebanon, searching through rubble for what’s left of their homes under a fragile truce that demands Israeli withdrawal in exchange for Hezbollah disarming. Fifty-eight-year-old Mahasen Faqih now sleeps in her village’s grocery store, one of thousands displaced by Israel’s military campaign—claimed to have destroyed 24 villages and 20,000 homes since March. Despite the devastation, many refuse to flee their land. Yet, the deal’s implementation is painfully slow, with Israeli forces and drones still patrolling “pilot zones,” leaving locals like Faqih feeling unsafe. Hezbollah rejects the agreement outright, and while peace talks resume in Rome in early August to expand withdrawal zones, for now, survival and rebuilding remain the urgent, daily battles.
