Lebanese families from occupied village cling to hope of returning home

Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese displaced by Israel's military offensive in southern Lebanon are returning home, but residents of villages still under Israeli occupation remain unable to do so. Around 260 people from 74 families in Majdal Zoun have been sheltering together in an empty school in Tyre for months, watching their village from the waterfront as Israeli forces remain in control. With the school now reclaiming its building, the community faces a further dispersal. Village mayor says social media is helping keep families connected as they relocate separately, uncertain when or whether they can return.
