Video footage shows residents of Nabatieh, a city in southern Lebanon and a Hezbollah stronghold, returning to their homes after an agreement reportedly reached between the United States and Iran. The deal's terms have not been disclosed.
Video footage now shows residents returning specifically to the city of Nabatieh, a Hezbollah stronghold in southern Lebanon, following a reported agreement between the United States and Iran. The footage, circulating Monday morning, adds a more precise geographic focus to a movement first reported around 11:21 Jerusalem time. The terms of the reported US-Iran deal remain undisclosed, and no official confirmation has been issued from Washington, Tehran, or Jerusalem.
The earliest reports, published at 11:21 Jerusalem, described Lebanese residents returning to several named villages in southern Lebanon that remained under evacuation alerts, including Barj Qallawiyah, Al-Mansouri, Mifadun, Deir Amess, and Kfar Jouz. Minutes later, at the same timestamp, the desk updated that residents were specifically returning to *intact* villages that were not destroyed during the fighting. A third update, also timed at 11:21 Jerusalem, reported that Hezbollah operatives were returning to the south alongside civilians. The source quality across the thread has remained a single unspecified source; no corroboration from Lebanese state media, the IDF, or international newsrooms has been cited.
As The Zioneer reported on Monday, the returns are framed as part of a broader regional deal between the US and Iran that includes Lebanon. Nabatieh has been the site of repeated Israeli airstrikes during the current round of hostilities, making any civilian return there a notable de-escalation signal — if verified.
The footage itself has not been independently verified. Neither the exact time of filming nor the current security conditions in Nabatieh are confirmed. The reported agreement's scope and implementation timeline remain unclear, and no IDF statement on a further withdrawal from positions in southern Lebanon has been announced.
