Lebanon Schools Reopen While Still Sheltering War-Displaced Residents

Lebanese schools are set to reopen on September 15 even as many continue sheltering people displaced by Israel's renewed offensive against Hezbollah, which has killed 4,381 people since March and displaced more than a million from southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley and Beirut's suburbs. Despite a US-brokered June framework and troop pullback zones, ongoing Israeli strikes—including one that killed 12 people this week—continue to displace residents and delay school reopenings. The situation shows the Israel-Hezbollah confrontation, triggered after Iran's Supreme Leader was killed in a joint US-Israeli strike, remains active and unresolved.
