Minister of Public Works and Transport, Fayez Rasamny, reflected in a post published via the ministry’s X account on his Friday’s inspection tour with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in South Lebanon.

“We witnessed firsthand the immense destruction in the war-ravaged villages of southern Lebanon. The scale of devastation is staggering, yet equally powerful is the unwavering resilience of the people. Their dignified perseverance is the very foundation upon which we will rebuild and move forward.”

“The very air of the south carries the scent of history—one of resilience and pride,” he added, “It stirs the soul and awakens within us a profound sense of belonging and responsibility.”

In southern Lebanon, sacrifice and steadfastness are not just words but lived experiences, and patriotism is not an abstract notion but a tangible force that keeps this land standing tall despite its wounds, Rasamny said.

“We reaffirm our full commitment to standing by you, dedicating every available resource to support your recovery. You are the heartbeat of this land, and with your determination, it will rise again—stronger, more vibrant, and more beautiful than before. You will not face this journey alone; hope endures even in the face of adversity, and a brighter future awaits our beloved South and cherished Lebanon.

Rasamny also called on all Lebanese to visit the south and witness its reality with their own eyes.

“A true understanding of the suffering and sacrifices of southerners comes only from standing among them. The south is more than just geography; it is a testament to resilience and dignity, a story that deserves to be seen, honored, and told.”

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam toured southern Lebanon on Friday to assess the situation following the Israeli aggression against the country.
