Despite the signing of a truce between Israel and Lebanese armed group, Hezbollah, many women living in the southern villages of Lebanon say that the conflict remains unresolved, Arab News via AFP and Reuters reported on 22nd October.
The ceasefire was brokered between the two sides in a deal mediated by the US on 26th November 2024 and was intended to allow citizens on both sides of the conflict to return to peace and live on their land without fear of conflict.
However, thousands of people in South Lebanon remain displaced in the aftermath of the conflict, unable or unwilling to return to their homes as a result of continued Israeli military incursions. Residents say that the Israeli military have continued to occupy hillside positions near the homes. More.
