US EditionChildren killed in Lebanon as Israeli strikes hit homes far from front lines of war with Hezbollah
The talks are the first direct diplomatic engagement in more than 30 years as Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah facilities and militants.
- In six weeks of renewed war between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah, 168 children have been killed among more than 2,100 total casualties, including Taline Shehab, nearly 4, killed March 12 when missiles struck her family's apartment building in Aramoun about 20 km south of Beirut.
- Hezbollah's March 2 missile attack across the border escalated tensions two days after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, though many Lebanese blamed Hezbollah for pulling their country into the war; the conflict echoes decades of violence, as Ten-year-old Zeinab al-Jabali's grandfather lost his own brother to an Israeli missile in 1982.
- Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta, treating war-wounded children at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, reports most cases involve children crushed under their own homes, as Israel has struck alleged Hezbollah targets in residential areas without warning while families were present.
- The Israeli military acknowledged strikes in areas where children died but provided limited details about targets, claiming operations follow international law principles while saying it targeted Hezbollah facilities and militants.
- Israel reports at least 13 soldiers and two civilians killed compared to 168 children killed in Lebanon, and despite Israeli army evacuation notices, many residents stayed in southern towns like Saksakieh where displaced people had sought refuge.
