Businesses in Lebanon are reeling after Israeli and Hezbollah bombs rain down on residential, commercial and industrial parts of the country, destroying shops, warehouses and stocks of goods.

Hezbollah says it will begin this week to assess damage to homes and businesses and dole out cash for people to pay rent, buy new furniture, and begin to rebuild.

The UN estimates the level of destruction is six to 10 times what it was in 2006 .

Israel has said it was acting solely against Hezbollah in its strikes on Nabatieh .

The historic market dates back about 500 years and dates back to 1978 .

Unlike previous attacks, this time the destruction was total.
