'NOBODY CAN KICK US OUT!' Lebanese Return To Nabatieh Rubble Amid Ongoing Israeli Bombing Campaign
Footage captured in the southern Lebanese city of Nabatieh on Monday revealed widespread urban destruction, with local officials confirming that nearly 70 percent of the historic municipality—including the 100-year-old Saraya neighborhood and the central commercial souk—has been decimated by recent Israeli airstrikes. Despite structural devastation, scattered rubble, and burnt-out vehicles clogging the streets, displaced residents are actively returning, vowing that "nobody can kick them out" of their native land. The volatile local security environment comes as the United States and Iran announced a preliminary framework agreement, slated for an official June 19 signing in Geneva, which mandates an immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. However, implementation faces severe regional pushback; Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir publicly denounced the Trump-brokered memorandum, explicitly stating that Tel Aviv is not a partner to the deal and remains focused on the total dismantlement of Hezbollah. - News Report.
