Unable to return, displaced southern Lebanese turn to satellite images to check on homes

BEIRUT: Displaced residents of villages in southern Lebanon, who currently have no way of reaching their homes, are turning to commercial satellite imagery to learn whether the houses they fled are still standing. For many families, the images offer the first glimpse of homes left behind during successive waves of displacement since Israel’s war on Lebanon began. Some pool money with neighbors to purchase the images, hoping to answer a question that has become an obsession: Is there anything left to return to?
