July War: Dahiyeh Rises from the Ashes

Photo Blog by Haitham Moussawi

Six years ago today, the Lebanese people were facing a crucial war. Thirty-three days of aggression were met with 33 days of resistance. Israel failed to achieve any of its goals in the war. Yet the victory that was achieved by the people and the resistance came at a price. The massacres spread all over the country. A systematic destruction of the country's infrastructure ensued. Today, the victims can’t forget the past for they have lost too much.

In this blog Al-Akhbar photographer Haitham Moussawi takes a look at how the southern suburb of Beirut, Dahiyeh, has been reborn from the rubble.
