South Lebanon residents
VS
Lebanese government
South Lebanon residents are the civilians living in the southern border region of Lebanon, many of whom have been displaced by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The Lebanese government is the state authority responsible for national security and public welfare, but its capacity to protect civilians is constrained by the presence of Hezbollah and the scale of the conflict.
The residents and the government have conflicting interests because the residents demand immediate protection and compensation for the destruction of their homes and livelihoods, while the government faces the challenge of balancing military response with diplomatic efforts and limited resources.

The government's response is scrutinized for its adequacy in addressing the security situation and civilian welfare, with residents questioning whether their interests are being prioritized.
