The footage, which has reportedly been viewed millions of times, appears to show a group of pre-kindergarten children screaming, sobbing and clinging to one another as explosions are heard nearby. While the children survived the frightening incident, the video has become a powerful symbol of how conflict continues to affect civilians, especially the youngest and most vulnerable.
The widely shared footage reportedly came from a nursery or pre-kindergarten classroom in Lebanon during a period of heightened tensions along the Israeli-Lebanese border.
