A pro-resistance outlet financed by Qatar published a report on February 22, 2026, detailing the devastating two-year impact of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict on Lebanon's Shia community in southern Lebanon, where women are now leading families and indoctrinating children as future fighters after men were killed, injured, or mentally broken by defeat. The article appeared on almodon.com. According to the al-Modon report, shared via X by @LizHurra on an unspecified recent date, the conflict has left a profound generational scar, with women assuming patriarchal roles amid widespread male casualties and psychological trauma in the border region. The piece highlights daily struggles including widowhood, orphanhood, and enforced militancy indoctrination. The report describes scenes of 'jiish shedaa' (army of martyrs), nightmares, and widowhood in southern Lebanese villages, portraying a community resilient yet radicalized by loss, as stated in the Arabic-language article linked in the X post.
