Amid rising tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border, residents of southern Lebanon are voicing their fears and frustrations over recent military actions. Early Saturday, Israeli forces launched airstrikes on targets in Beirut’s southern suburb of Dahieh, claiming to target Hezbollah weapons caches hidden beneath civilian buildings.
Local resident Ahmad Ijaber described the scene: “They continued to bomb the targets with warships and planes, throwing tons of explosives on defenseless citizens without any justification, without any compassion for the children and women. The enemy army is committing massacres all over the south, from Bekaa to the southern suburbs.”
The escalation in hostilities has heightened concerns about civilian safety and the potential for a broader conflict. International organizations have called for restraint on all sides to prevent further loss of life and humanitarian crises.
The Lebanese government has condemned the attacks, urging the international community to intervene and halt the aggression. Meanwhile, residents are bracing for further developments as tensions show no sign of easing.
