Israel’s aerial bombardment killed nearly 500 people, including at least 35 children and 58 women, according to Lebanese authorities.
That’s nearly half the number killed throughout the entire 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006.
Lebanese civilians know all too well how frightening the Israeli military’s attempts to target Hezbollah can be.
On Friday, Israeli jets carried out an airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburbs, in which they killed several senior Hezbollah commanders.
But the missiles also destroyed a nine-story building in a densely populated neighborhood, killing 45 people, including women and children.
