A Lebanese couple, Mahasen Faqih and Mohammed Sobeih, are clinging to their homeland in Zawtar al-Gharbieh despite their home reduced to rubble—now living in their damaged shop under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire that sees Israel pull back in exchange for Hezbollah disarming. Since March, Israeli forces have seized villages in southern Lebanon, leveling thousands of homes and ancient communities. Faqih, who lost most of her possessions in a 2024 conflict, vows to rebuild, but safety remains elusive amid Israeli drones and troops, even with Lebanese forces nearby. While talks in Rome aim to finalize withdrawals, residents still live in fear, questioning whether peace can truly take root amid such devastation.
