Hi, I'm Chloe K. Lee, and this is another take, where we dive into the archives.

Tens of thousands of displaced Lebanese are returning home to the south after over a month of Israeli attacks.

Lebanon and Israel agreed to a 10-day truce, but the Lebanese army has already accused Israel of violating the terms of the ceasefire.

In this episode, the take explored what it's like to live in southern Lebanon, constantly under the threat of bombs.

This episode originally aired on August 16, 2024.

All references are from that time.

Today, living under the bombs in Lebanon, with a new round of ceasefire talks up in the air and threats of a regional war after Israel's killing of a Hezbollah commander, people in southern Lebanon are once again caught in the

middle.

And so every day is a struggle.

They don't know what tomorrow has in store for them.

It's an extremely stressful situation.

I'm Malika Bilal, and this is The Take.

I'm Sadha Salman. I'm Lebanese, but I'm based in Washington, D.C., and I'm a journalist at AJ Plus.

And I'm here to talk about what's been happening in southern Lebanon.

Sara, welcome to the take. It's really good to have you here.

You have been reporting on southern Lebanon, just to the north of Israel.

I'm curious how living in this kind of uncertainty under

this constant threat of war impacts people. Do people prepare for these moments, or has it

become a part of daily life over time? You know, Israel has a long history of attacking Lebanon and southern Lebanon.

And so people are traumatized and they carry that trauma through other lives.

They're really used to that constant threat that exists.
