Hezbollah announced the start of damage assessment and restoration for frontline villages in Tyre district.
Hussein Khair al-Din, General Coordinator at Jihad al-Binaa Foundation:
• “We have begun surveying the damages in the western sector.”
• “We are deploying engineering teams to assess the damage to housing units and allocate funds for restoration and accommodation (…), paving the way for the return of the residents to their villages.”
• “Coordination will take place with intermediaries between engineers and the affected, preventing any logistical burden from overwhelming the engineers’ daily capacity.”
MP Hussein Jishi, member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc:
• “This project is part of the resistance efforts to rebuild and grant our people a dignified and honorable return.”
• “The reconstruction project is a huge task. In two months, the foundation’s teams surveyed over 250,000 housing units—something even some countries might find difficult to achieve.”
Electricity and Telecom Services Slowly Returning to Southern Border Villages
Mayors from southern villages met with Électricité du Liban (EDL), Ogero, and the South Lebanon Council to coordinate the restoration of services following significant damage. The meeting, organized by Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, focused on clearing roads, assessing damage, and ensuring proper procurement procedures. Hashem Haidar, head of the South Lebanon Council, noted the scale of destruction and the need for substantial funding.
Kamel Hayek, General Manager of EDL, reported severe damage to electricity infrastructure, with ongoing repairs in some villages. Ali Atiyeh, head of operations at Ogero, shared that their teams are working to restore telecommunications in bombed areas across Beirut’s southern suburbs, Bekaa, and the south. He added that 15 wireless stations are being installed, five of which are already operational.
