Abed Hachem rebuilt his home when it was damaged in a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in 2024, but is at a loss now that most of his village has been destroyed in Israel’s latest round of strikes.
Where his house once stood in Qlaileh is now rubble; where his garden bloomed, dust, with more dust covering the toys and furniture strewn around the remains of his living room.
“Oh dear… Oh God. There was a building here… here… there was a building here,” the 46-year-old father of three said as he pointed to the husks of buildings that once housed his neighbors.
The spire of the local mosque is one of few structures still standing.
