Rmeish (also spelled Rmaish, Rmaich, and Rmeich; Arabic: رميش) is a village located in the District of Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, south of Ain Ebel, near the Lebanese-Israeli border covering an area of 20 km2 (7.7 sq mi). The ruins found in the village indicate that the area was occupied by the Romans and the Crusaders at some stage in history.
In 2022, Hezbollah's construction near Rmeish sparked local anger, leading to the dismantling of the structures.[1] Later, during the Israel–Hamas war, Hezbollah's militant activities in Rmeich led to fear, displacement, and clashes with residents, and a confrontation over a rocket launcher installation in the town center.[2][3]
