Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam toured several towns near the Israeli border on Saturday, which were severely damaged in recent conflicts. This marks his first visit to the southern border region since the Lebanese army announced it had completed disarming Hezbollah forces there in January.
During the visit, Salam committed to rebuilding the affected areas and addressing the needs of local communities impacted by the destruction.
**Why this matters**
The southern border region of Lebanon has experienced significant conflict and damage, affecting civilian infrastructure and livelihoods. The prime minister’s visit and pledge to reconstruct signal a government effort to restore stability and support recovery in a sensitive and strategically important area.
