Beirut, Lebanon – During Israel’s intensification of its war on Lebanon in March, Aya stayed at her home in Abbasiyeh, in southern Lebanon, despite the risks. At one point, she says, her neighbour’s house was targeted by an Israeli attack. The attacks have subsided after an ostensible ceasefire was initially announced in April. But the sounds of war have not ceased. “There’s always drones around and sounds of detonations, but we’ve grown thick skin,” she told Al Jazeera. In recent weeks, however, fears have intensified around a potential third Israeli intensification since 2024. Many Lebanese are now living in limbo, especially those in areas that previously witnessed intense Israeli attacks.
