Residents of Khiam, Lebanon, start rebuilding after recent conflict as Hezbollah calls for Israeli withdrawal

Residents of Khiam, Lebanon, are beginning to rebuild after the recent Israel-Hezbollah war, which ended in November. Many, like Sabah Abdullah, are waiting for compensation from Hezbollah for their destroyed homes and businesses. Despite a ceasefire agreement, Israeli forces will remain in five strategic locations in southern Lebanon, contrary to Hezbollah's demands for a full withdrawal. Construction work is ongoing in Khiam, where significant damage was reported. The war caused extensive destruction in Khiam, with many homes and infrastructure severely impacted. Residents are slowly returning to assess the damage and begin repairs, but concerns about future conflicts remain.
