Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shia political and armed movement backed by Iran. Its conflicts with Israel have destroyed large numbers of homes in southern Lebanon and Beirut's southern suburbs.
Hezbollah spokesperson Ali Damoush said the group will pay $14,000 to families in Beirut and its suburbs whose homes were destroyed or made uninhabitable in the war with Israel, and $12,000 to families elsewhere.
