Renovation work is underway at the main synagogue in central Beirut, after approval from the Lebanese government, planning authorities and even Hezbollah.

The work, which is being funded by private donors and a Lebanese construction firm, began two weeks ago, according to various media reports.

Built in the 1920s, the synagogue is located in the neighborhood of Wadi Abu Jamil, close to Lebanese parliament and other government buildings in downtown Beirut.

For the couple of Dozen who stayed.

If Hezbollah approved it was strictly for propoganda..

Yeah, same trick in Iran. The want to point to their restored, but empty, synagogues. Supposedly, this is proof they are warm and fuzzy toward Jews while they plot their genocide in Israel.
