[ssba]A war between Iran-backed Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon has reduced several buildings to rubble, with residents saying they have not been able to sleep for a month.
Crisis-hit Lebanon was pulled into the Middle East war on March 2 when Hezbollah, which is the most prominent actor in the so-called axis of resistance -- regional pro-Tehran armed groups opposed to Israel -- fired rockets towards Israeli cities to avenge the killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Israel then responded with large-scale strikes on Lebanon, leaving more than 1,100 people dead and displacing over one million people, more than a fifth of the country's population.
