Summary
One person was injured and a car caught fire after Hezbollah rockets hit Rmeish on Sunday, with a missile landing between inhabited homes and narrowly avoiding what local officials called a major disaster.
Rmeish mayor Hanna Al-Amil said the village has no military forces, armed groups or weapons, and appealed for civilian protection as residents face repeated strikes on Christian communities in southern Lebanon.
More than 50 children still celebrated their first Communion the same day, though families cut festivities to home gatherings as fear, displacement and shortages disrupted daily life.
Friday's rocket fire toward Israeli forces in Dibbin also landed in civilian parts of Marjayoun, damaging St. George Greek Orthodox Church and the Sacred Hearts Secondary School.
Residents say Rmeish has lived under near-continuous war conditions since Oct. 8, 2023, with schools intermittently closed, aid access uncertain and families unable to plan beyond the next day.
