Southern Lebanon awaits reconstruction after Israeli attacks
Reconstruction has yet to begin across much of southern Lebanon, where families are returning to homes destroyed by Israeli strikes and controlled demolitions.
Lebanon’s government says it lacks the funds to rebuild. Beirut estimates that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah since 2023 has caused more than $2.7bn in damage.
“We live in hell, with no water and no electricity,” Abu Muhammad, who lost his bees and goats, told Al Jazeera. “We use plastic to seal our windows. We sleep on the floor.”
International reconstruction assistance has been linked to the disarmament of Hezbollah under a US-mediated agreement between Lebanon and Israel, but little progress has been made in implementing it.
Israel accuses the Lebanese army of failing to disarm the group, while Lebanese officials say Israel is using the issue as a pretext to maintain its occupation of parts of the south.
“So many countries helped us rebuild after previous conflicts, like in 2006,” resident Maryam said. “Now, we are no longer seen as human beings.”
Residents say they remain caught between the political dispute and the worsening conditions on the ground.

Petrol prices shoot up in war-hit Lebanon
In Lebanon, the price of 20 litres (5 gallons) of petrol has increased by 92,000 Lebanese pounds ($1), and diesel by 127,000 Lebanese pounds ($1.4) as inflation worsens in the country, the country’s National News Agency reports.
Israel’s war on Lebanon and the US-Israel war on Iran have damaged Lebanon’s economy. Prices are rising because of supply issues, particularly oil from the Gulf region, which has largely stopped since the US and Iran blockaded the Strait of Hormuz.
The World Bank projected Lebanon’s economy will shrink by 6.4 percent this year as conflict turns a brief post-crisis recovery into a sharp downturn.

Israeli army sets fire to government hospital in southern Lebanon
The Israeli military set fire to a government hospital in Mays al-Jabal in Marjayoun in southern Lebanon, the state-run National News Agency reports.
In a statement, Lebanon’s Public Health Ministry condemned the attack, calling it a “the barbaric crime” and a “blatant, brutal and outrageous attack”.
The Israeli military had been using the hospital as a military position before burning it on Friday.
It is not clear whether there were casualties or the extent of the damage.
According to a statement, the ministry was planning to rehabilitate the hospital and use it to shelter displaced people.
The Israeli army has not commented on the incident.
The attacks come in spite of a US-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel reached in June, which provides for a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and the deployment of the Lebanese army in areas vacated by Israeli forces.

Lebanese Army: Israeli forces threw sound grenades in designated security zone
The Lebanese army says Israeli forces threw sound grenades inside a designated security zone in the town of Deir Mimas, in the Marjayoun district of southern Lebanon.
In a statement published on its official X account, the army explained it had established new “observation points” on the outskirts of Deir Mimas on Thursday, September 10, to “inspect the agricultural land” in coordination with the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), established by the late-June framework agreement reached between the Israeli and Lebanese governments.
After the incident today with the Israeli army, the Lebanese army communicated the breach through the mechanism. As a result, the Israeli army left the designated area, and the Lebanese army returned to its base.
The Lebanese army has come under frequent Israeli army fire since the outbreak of open war between Israel and Hezbollah on March 2, 2026, with at least 50 Lebanese army personnel being killed in such incidents.
