South Lebanon is affected by numerous strikes by the Israeli army, which says it targets Hezbollah fighters. However, several civilians are collateral victims.
In Saida (Lebanon), a school was transformed into a shelter. At the entrance to a class, there is a photo of a son killed on Wednesday October 9 by an Israeli bombing in the south of the country. Arriving two days earlier with his family, Abbas fled the intensification of Israeli strikes. “Our building was targeted and collapsed, I don’t know how I managed to escape, but my brother was killed instantly,” he testifies. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah fighters, but civilians say they have no links with the Islamist group.
Seventy displaced people thought they had found a safe place in Wardaniyé (Lebanon), in the mountains south of Beirut. But on Tuesday, October 8, an Israeli raid pulverized a community center, killing six refugees and injuring 15 others. Inside, there remain the boxes of food aid, the kitchen, the stacked mattresses. There were no weapons or militia, according to the mayor who believes that Israel wants to divide Christians and Muslims.
