Displaced people gather at Beirut's central Martyrs' Square, as Israel strikes Beirut's southern suburbs on September 28, 2024.
Timour Azhari/ReutersIt was 3 a.m. and southern Beirut was under the most intense bombardment it had seen in nearly 20 years.
These were the displaced from neighborhoods being pummelled by Israeli warplanes.
As we crisscrossed the city in our car, the Israeli military issued fresh evacuation orders for the residents of not yet struck parts of southern Beirut.
Meanwhile the people of Beirut wait to see what has become of their homes, their city and its civilians.
