A resident of Tyre in Lebanon described the harrowing experience of Israeli warplanes bombing near his home since early Monday morning. Haidar Al-Rouz witnessed several residential buildings collapsing, leading to a mass exodus of residents from the city.
Israeli warplanes were observed flying over various parts of the country, including Mount Lebanon, where Hezbollah's presence is minimal. The Be’r Hassan institute in Beirut became a refuge for families fleeing the violence, with vans and cars transporting them along with their meager belongings.
One volunteer at the institute mentioned that five extended families, totaling close to 40 individuals, sought shelter there. The volunteer anticipated the building to reach full capacity by the end of the day as more displaced people arrived.
Janna Ayash, a 70-year-old from the village of Kafra, shared her distressing situation, revealing that she had been without food for four days while enduring continuous bombing. She recounted the heavy traffic on damaged roads as she evacuated her home early in the morning following intensified airstrikes.
Ayash tragically mentioned burying one son recently due to bombardment, while her other son hesitated to leave their home. She managed to evacuate her son's wife and children, who found temporary shelter in an empty classroom at the institute in Beirut.
