Lebanese school children in Nabatieh had a terrifying experience when a drone strike targeted a Hezbollah fighter in the car in front of their minibus, shattering the windscreen and injuring three pupils. The attack, blamed on Israel, left the children with cuts from flying glass, sparking panic among them.
With the ongoing violence between Lebanon and Israel escalating, the incident added to the toll of lives lost on both sides. Despite the mounting casualties, both parties have been careful in their strikes to avoid a full-scale war.
At the scene of the strike, blood stains on the road and a charred car served as grim reminders of the violence. One of the injured children, Mohammed Nasser, recalled the harrowing experience with fear in his eyes.
As tensions rise, Hezbollah retaliated with rocket strikes on an Israeli base. The community mourned the loss of Mohammad Ali Nasser Farran, a physics teacher at a local school, and the injured children continued to recover from the traumatic event.
Efforts to de-escalate the situation between Lebanon and Israel remain crucial as innocent lives continue to be caught in the crossfire.
