Lebanon Reels From Israeli Strikes Killing Hundreds
In a swift and devastating 10-minute Israeli airstrike, over 100 targets were hit across Lebanon, resulting in one of the worst mass-killings since 1990. The densely populated residential areas of Beirut, including the Barbour neighborhood, were bombed with 1,000lb munitions, claiming the lives of over 300 civilians and wounding more than 1,100. Despite Israel’s claim of targeting Hezbollah command centers, residents and Lebanese officials assert that the strikes deliberately targeted unarmed civilians, overwhelming the medical system with mass casualties, including children and the elderly. This attack occurred in a mixed neighborhood that had become a refuge for families displaced by earlier bombings, further escalating the conflict and fueling anger against Israel.
