US EditionChildren killed in Lebanon as Israeli strikes hit homes far from front lines of war with Hezbollah
Civilian deaths have climbed to 172 children as Israeli strikes hit homes and vehicles across the country, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
- On Tuesday, an Israeli drone strike killed 19-year-old Ghadir Baalbaki in Tyre, Lebanon, hitting a vehicle near the city center overnight.
- Hezbollah's rocket fire into northern Israel triggered an intense aerial campaign and ground invasion, killing more than 2,000 people and displacing over one million Lebanese.
- Mourners buried Baalbaki on Wednesday at a temporary cemetery, as her aunt Mariam Hamoud recalled sitting outside for "10 minutes before the strike hit us."
- Lebanese and Israeli officials held rare face-to-face talks in Washington this week, though Hezbollah opposes the discussions, viewing them as a concession amid ongoing bombardment.
- While Israeli strikes in Beirut have eased since last week's 10-minute bombardment that killed over 350 people, southern regions like Tyre remain under frequent attack with thousands refusing to flee.
