- Story Text: Dozens of volunteers and Hezbollah scouts gathered on Monday (December 2) in Beirut's southern suburbs to remove debris and clean up the streets.
Young volunteers used brooms and their own hands to remove rubble, after Israeli strikes caused severe damage to buildings and stores in the area, during the hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.
"We will continue our work until everyone comes back, said volunteer Sarah Shukr, adding, " we will remove glass and rubble as much as we can, there’s no specific deadline, we will continue this campaign and will last long, God willing."
Hezbollah said it carried out a "defensive warning strike" on an Israeli military position in the disputed Shebaa Farms area on Monday, citing what it called repeated Israeli ceasefire violations including airstrikes and shelling in Lebanon.
The Israeli military said the Hezbollah strike consisted of two missiles and caused no casualties.
Earlier, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency NNA said Israeli forces fired two artillery shells toward the southern Lebanese town of Beit Lif in the Bint Jbeil district, while heavy machinegun fire targeted Yaroun. No injuries were reported in either incident, NNA added.
