Hezbollah will also provide a lump sum of US$8,000 to those whose primary homes were destroyed in the war, and US$6,000 for a year of rent for those living in Beirut or its suburbs and US$4,000 for those living outside the capital until they can move back home, he said. The payments would be financed mainly by Iran, he said.
A ceasefire to the 14-month conflict took effect late last month, though Israel has been accused by U.N., French and Lebanese officials of violating it dozens of times.With the guns mostly silent, Qassem said Hezbollah was turning its focus to reconstruction.
