Lebanese volunteers rebuild war-damaged Catholic monastery in interfaith effort

Monday, 3 August 2026, 06:15 · 1 min read

Volunteers from a predominantly Shia Muslim village in southern Lebanon have joined together to rebuild a Catholic monastery destroyed during the recent conflict in Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh, one of Lebanon's designated post-war reconstruction "pilot zones." The effort began following the withdrawal of Israeli forces, as returning residents found their community reduced largely to rubble. The interfaith collaboration — Muslims helping to restore a Christian religious site — has drawn attention as a symbol of communal solidarity amid Lebanon's broader struggle to recover from the war's destruction.
