Few Residents Return to Lebanon’s Nabatiyeh After a US-Iran Truce with Fighting Nearby
Residents returned to Nabatiyeh to salvage belongings and assess losses after the truce, as fighting nearby continued and more than 3,800 people were killed in Lebanon.
- On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, residents returned to Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon to inspect ruins and clear debris following an initial ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran announced late Sunday.
- The historic trade hub suffered widespread destruction during the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, with business owner Kamel al-Kamel estimating his supermarket and roastery losses at $2.5 million after the century-old building crumbled.
- Aida Jleilati and her daughter, Sukaina al-Muhtadi, searched through their destroyed home's rubble on Tuesday, while Samar Zuraik found her house damaged but mourned her son, Ali, killed in an airstrike.
- Despite the truce, artillery shells continue striking Nabatiyeh's outskirts, leaving it unlivable without electricity or internet, and Jleilati and other residents remain uncertain whether the ceasefire will hold given previous fragile agreements.
- Najdeh El Chaabiyeh Hospital medical director Dr. Shafi Fouani reported treating hundreds of wounded during the war, which struck the historic religious and trade center harder than previous conflicts since the Ottoman Empire.
