Faced with tensions in southern Lebanon, Hezbollah appears as protector. The political-military organization, close to Iran, carries out rocket and drone attacks which are responded to by Israeli raids.
More than 80,000 residents of southern Lebanon have been displaced from the border region. In this Hezbollah stronghold, the Shiite militia is active on the military level, but also on the civil level, in particular by taking charge of the rehousing of displaced families. It was here that a January strike attributed to Israel killed Wissam Tawil, a senior Hezbollah commander.
