As Israel intensifies its bombardment of Lebanon, thousands of people are fleeing the country to seek safety. This escalation marks the heaviest bombardment since the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.
Lebanese citizens escaping the airstrikes have been arriving in Cyprus, with reports of harrowing experiences. Ali Abdul Hassan, a 49-year-old Lebanese national, described the situation as terrible after fleeing Beirut due to an airstrike that damaged his neighborhood and home. He recounted how a building housing Lebanese families who had already fled southern Lebanon was struck, highlighting the widespread impact of the conflict.
