On April 8, 2026, massive Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon killed at least 254 people and wounded 1,165 others, according to Lebanon’s Civil Defence and health authorities.
Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley were hit within minutes.
Behind these numbers are broken lives: families, children, and ordinary Lebanese civilians simply trying to survive another day.
Here are some of the faces among the victims of the bombings carried out by the Israeli army on what they claim are Hezbollah military infrastructures.
Israel is acting as a criminal state, deliberately targeting civilians and infrastructure in a clear attempt to reproduce the devastating Gaza scenario in Lebanon: widespread destruction, mass displacement, and overwhelming civilian suffering under the guise of military operations.
War crimes after war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
These attacks, which came hours after a U.S.- Iran ceasefire announcement, have once again highlighted the extreme vulnerability of civilians, faced with Israel’s total impunity and global silence in the face of the scale of war crimes that Israel has committed for more than two years.
May Lebanon be protected, and may all the martyrs rest in peace.
