Lebanese return to scenes of destruction in Beirut's suburbs as damage bill exceeds $5 billion

ABC  

In Beirut's southern suburbs, the cost of "victory" is devastation. Some residents agree with Hezbollah's claim of a 'divine victory' against Israel, while others are furious with the group for getting involved in the conflict. Hezbollah flags still fly around Dahiyeh and the group's operatives are everywhere, sitting on plastic chairs on street corners and patrolling on scooters. The locals returning to their homes agree with the group's claims of a "divine victory" against Israel, at least outwardly. Israel's response to the Hezbollah launches, particularly the intense bombardment of Dahiyeh, southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, has killed 3,961 people and caused $5.2 billion in physical damage alone, according to the World Bank.
