The ongoing conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has significantly impacted the Christian community in Lebanon, particularly following Hezbollah's recent military actions after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Residents of the Christian town Rmaych express fear and frustration as rocket attacks and retaliations escalate, with many blaming Hezbollah for dragging Lebanon into a wider conflict without consulting the government or other factions. Analysts note that Hezbollah's response to its failures, including the deaths of civilians during attacks, reflects a cultural tendency to conceal mistakes rather than admit them. This situation is exacerbated by Lebanon's political paralysis, with no president since October 2022 and a dysfunctional government, hindering necessary economic reforms amid a severe economic crisis. The Christian community is increasingly vocal against Hezbollah's unilateral decisions, fearing it may impose its will on the country, while Hezbollah's leadership dismisses these concerns, claiming they reflect a lack of national solidarity. The conflict has intensified sectarian tensions, leading to a growing divide between Hezbollah's Shiite supporters and the predominantly Christian opposition.
