Another Take: War at the doorstep in Lebanon

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on August 16, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Farmers forced to leave their fields, children out of school, and white phosphorus devastating lives – all this hangs over life in southern Lebanon, where the ongoing threat of escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah has been a constant presence for decades. How do residents continue to cope with these challenges?
