In the city of Baalbek, eastern Lebanon, the Jawhari family is facing unimaginable devastation after their home was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on Nov. 1. The once-vibrant gathering place for generations now lies in ruins, leaving the family shattered and struggling to come to terms with the loss.
Following the U.S.-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the Jawhari family, like many others, returned to check on their properties only to find a gaping crater where their home once stood. The airstrikes, which have been ongoing for the past two months, have left a trail of destruction across eastern and southern Lebanon, displacing nearly 1.2 million people.
