Funerals are being held across Lebanon to honor the civilians and fighters who lost their lives in the recent Israeli attack. The devastating incident, which occurred on Friday, has resulted in a death toll of at least 45 people, as confirmed by Lebanon's health ministry on Sunday.
Emergency services are actively engaged in search and rescue operations, sifting through the debris left behind by the attack. The aftermath of the assault has left communities in mourning and shock as they come to terms with the tragic loss of their loved ones.
In the village of Meis El Jabal, located in southern Lebanon, a somber scene unfolded as mourners bid farewell to a family that perished in Beirut. As a symbol of respect and remembrance, rice was thrown over the coffins of the deceased, following a tradition that honors martyrdom. Among the victims were at least two women and two young girls, highlighting the indiscriminate nature of the violence.
The circumstances surrounding the family's presence in Beirut remain unclear. It is uncertain whether they were residents of the city or had sought refuge there to escape the relentless Israeli bombardment targeting southern Lebanon.
