South's displaced nearing return
The article discusses the extent of Israel's destruction of villages and towns in southern Lebanon during ongoing conflicts. The region has experienced widespread destruction and forced displacement of over a quarter of a million Lebanese people over the past three years. The operations mainly focus on destroying infrastructure, homes, schools, and vital facilities, leading to massive material losses estimated between $9.2 billion and $11 billion for reconstruction. The return of residents to their areas depends on reaching a political settlement with the withdrawal of occupying forces, as well as providing the necessary funding for rebuilding—objectives that are currently difficult to achieve due to financial and political obstacles. The article emphasizes that the return of displaced village residents will be a long-term process, requiring a comprehensive settlement and political stability to ensure the reconstruction of the affected areas.
