Kindergarten teacher Zeinab Asfur stands in front of her class in the Shiite-dominated southern suburbs of Beirut. “Who are your heroes?” she asks. “The men of the resistance!” the children shout back in unison.

As early as four years old, pupils across the suburbs are taught about the “heroic resistance” of the militant group Hezbollah in Israel’s summer war which completely devastated large parts of the area.
