Lebanese fears of renewed war and expanded Israeli attacks are growing, amid diplomatic warnings that any new escalation could be more severe than the previous confrontation. These fears have driven a number of residents of Beirut's southern suburb to leave their homes or rent apartments in other areas, even though some of their homes were not damaged during the previous war. This comes amid ongoing effects of destruction, dust problems, and water supply issues, prompting some to consider permanent relocation. Others continue to reside in the suburb but secure alternative places when necessary, amid fears that any regional escalation, especially with the possibility of renewed war between the United States and Iran, could drag Lebanon back into the circle of fighting.
