**Beirut, Lebanon** – The Israeli invasion of Lebanon has reached a new level of brutality, with the village of Ain el Deleb bearing the brunt of the violence. A devastating airstrike on two residential blocks in the village has left 45 people dead, making it the deadliest single Israeli attack in Lebanon since the start of the conflict.
Families are mourning the loss of loved ones, with some entire families wiped out. Rescue workers are still sifting through the rubble, pulling out survivors and victims. The attack has fuelled anger and resentment towards Israel and its Western allies, who are accused of enabling the violence.
“This is a literal massacre,” said a civil defense worker who was on the scene. “Entire families are being wiped out.”
The attack on Ain el Deleb is just one example of the escalating violence in Lebanon. Israeli ground forces have crossed the border, leading to fierce fighting in the south. The Israeli military has issued a warning for civilians to avoid travelling south of the Litani River, fearing further airstrikes.
The Lebanese government is outraged by the invasion and has accused Israel of attempting to “professionalize genocide” by issuing warnings before launching attacks. The caretaker government is frustrated by its inability to stop the violence and is calling for an end to Western support for Israel.
“We don’t want anyone to fight our war,” said Tarek Kaddoura, a resident of Ain el Deleb. “We can do the fighting on our own. We just want those big countries to stop supplying Israel with weapons.”
The attack on Ain el Deleb highlights the human cost of the ongoing conflict and the desperate need for a peaceful resolution. Civilians are bearing the brunt of the violence, and the international community must act to prevent further bloodshed.
