DEHRADUN: Some of the heaviest Israeli bombing since the latest round of attacks began on March 2 hit Beirut and other parts of Lebanon on Wednesday, and a professor at the country’s only state-run university told TOI from Beirut that teachers and students had decided to keep education going by shifting classes online despite the growing toll. Lebanese health ministry figures reported at least 203 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries after the strikes, which came after a tentative ceasefire linked to the wider regional crisis but did not halt Israeli operations in Lebanon.
Habib Al-Badawi, professor of international relations and Japanese studies at Lebanese University, said the attacks since last month had damaged educational institutions and forced teaching to move online, much like during the Covid-19 period. Witnessing the intense Wednesday bombings on places including residential buildings in Beirut, he termed the attacks as ‘unpardonable act against civilians’
