The person who was filming says in the video: “This (banner) sticks around. The buildings collapsed and the neighborhood was destroyed, but this banner will remain.”
The banner, reading: “We Won’t Abandon Palestine”, was raised by the people of Dahiyeh as the Israeli aggression on Lebanon started earlier in September.
