Families seek refuge on Beirut’s seafront to escape Israeli airstrikes ravaging Lebanon | Latest updates on Israel-Lebanon conflict

The normally quiet seafront in Beirut was filled with cars and people fleeing the devastating Israeli attacks on southern parts of the capital. The Israeli military had targeted Hezbollah headquarters, causing death and destruction. People laid on mattresses and towels, unsure of where to go next. Syrian refugees and Lebanese citizens found themselves displaced and seeking refuge by the water, with some expressing fear, humour, or resignation. One Lebanese family had fled conflict many times before, with the man sharing his reluctance to join militias in the past. Israeli military continued airstrikes throughout the night, targeting various areas in Lebanon. The man reflected on his family’s history of conflict and his decision to avoid picking up arms, seeking solace in the temporary safety of the seafront. The ongoing violence and displacement in Beirut highlighted the urgent need for peace and safety for all those affected by the conflict.
