School director Ahmad Alama : "We thought the war had ended with the ceasefire, but unfortunately, we're still living it every day" Israel has continued near-daily strikes on people and targets it says are linked to Hezbollah .

The return of Israeli air strikes to Beirut has intensified fears of a return to all-out war.

Some 346 buildings in Dahieh were destroyed and 145 partly damaged by Israeli air strikes.

"The destruction is terrifying. I see the destroyed buildings and I cry," says Sawsan Hariri , the headteacher of Burj High School .

The Lebanese government has pledged to set up a reconstruction fund which the World Bank estimates will cost $ 11bn nationwide.
