Survives uprising in Lebanese village (5)
I believe the answer is:
lives
'survives' is the definition.
('live' can be a synonym of 'survive')
'uprising in lebanese village' is the wordplay.
'uprising' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'sevil' can be found hidden inside 'lebanese village'.
'sevil' back-to-front is 'LIVES'.
(Other definitions for lives that I've seen before include "See 5" , "Exists" , "Resides" , "Biographies" , "Elvis (anag) - is not dead" .)
