Israel’s Dusk Bombing of Beirut Terrifies Palestinian Refugees
As Israel intensifies its attacks on Lebanon, particularly focusing on Dahiyeh, a southern suburb of Beirut, the population, including Palestinian refugees, live in fear. Thousands have fled to displacement centers around the city to escape the Israeli airstrikes.
In Shatila, a Palestinian refugee camp, the streets that were once crowded are now nearly empty as residents seek safety from the ongoing violence. While some have left for Syria out of fear, others, like Majdi Adam, have chosen to stay, feeling a deep connection to their home despite the risks.
Despite facing legal discrimination in Lebanon, Palestinian refugees have come together to support those affected by the war. In Shatila, Fatima Ahmed and a group of Palestinian women have been making blankets for displaced people, offering comfort amidst the chaos.
While Israel’s attacks have ravaged cities and villages in south Lebanon, including Palestinian refugee camps, the resilient spirit of the Palestinian people shines through as they continue to fight for their right of return to their homeland, against all odds.
