The consequences of war: 100,000 housing units damaged in Lebanon

The World Bank assesses that nearly 100,000 housing units in Lebanon have been damaged or "severely impacted" by the war and billions of dollars in damages caused, according to the Daily Star.

The IDF has released multiple videos showing the occurrence of secondary explosions after strikes proving the presence of ammunition and explosives in many of the structures it targets, many of these civilian buildings or buildings near hospitals and other civilian infrastructures.

The question of the rebuilding of the devastation, especially in southern Lebanon, is a hotly debated issue. Iran recently promised Hezbollah that it would fund the rebuilding of all damaged areas - including Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Baalbek area - while Lebanon insists that no outside party be involved.

Even the question of the return of south Lebanese residents of villages along the border is fiercely debated. The IDF wants to keep the territory they hold clear of civilians until the demilitarization of southern Lebanon is fully completed, while Hezbollah and Lebanon reportedly want the residents to be able to return "within hours" even before an agreement is reached.
