A family, a bride, a domestic worker: the toll of Israeli strikes on Lebanon
He said the family had nothing to do with Hezbollah and criticised the Israelis for “indiscriminate” attacks while also questioning why Lebanon had been dragged into a battle that Hezbollah says is in support of Palestinians.
“Now, we’re homeless. We are living in the streets,” he said via phone from a temporary shelter. “Before, we were living completely normal lives. Who will give us back our homes?”
The victims included Hasan Saksouk, his adult children Mohammad and Mona, Mohammad’s wife Fatima and their 9-month-old daughter Rima, as well as Mona’s three children, all under nine years old.
Anna, the Gambian worker in her early 30s, also perished.
The coastal town of Saksakieh saw 11 civilians killed on Monday, including six women and two children, according to Mayor Ali Abbas, who said there were direct strikes on homes.
“These are civilian homes, they have nothing to do with any kind of military installation,” Abbas told Reuters.
