Latest news between Israel and Hezbollah: Hezbollah chief Nasrallah killed, says Israel – as Iran’s supreme leader was taken to secure site | World News

Special correspondent Alex Crawford leaves the aftermath of Hassan Nasrallah’s alleged death behind him for a moment, reporting from the coast of Beirut on the impact of the attacks on civilians…

Beirut’s Corniche is filled with families who fled overnight and early morning Israeli bombings of the capital’s southern suburbs.

Entire families are camping on the sidewalks, on the main public beach, in cars and on benches.

A family loaded their pickup truck and set off with more than 40 family members from Dahiyeh in the southern suburbs, where most of the Israeli airstrikes have taken place.

We spoke with the grandparents who packed their truck with their seven children and 31 grandchildren and fled to get away from the line of fire.

Some of the children were still sleeping in the back of the truck when we spoke to grandmother Em Ahmad.

She told us: “When we heard the first big bomb, I just said to my husband: ‘We have to move’.”

“We are all very afraid. We have no idea what’s going to happen.”

Many families are Syrian refugees who have already fled the fighting in their home country.

A young mother and her three children spent the night on the sidewalk a few kilometers from Dahiyeh.

“We moved several times, and as the bombing continued, I thought, I can’t stay here with my children,” she told us on condition of anonymity because many were apparently afraid of being targeted.

The paranoia is now acute. The fear, raw.

Airstrikes continued this morning in Bekaa in the east of the country and overnight there were several attacks in the southern city of Tire and in the Lebanon mountains, where many displaced families had already fled.

“Please don’t show my family’s faces,” said an elderly man from Dahiyeh who had slept all night in his vehicle, about two miles north of the airstrikes.

“The Israelis are terrorizing us. It’s crazy. Nobody feels safe.”
