"Israeli strikes on Wednesday killed at least 203 people and wounded more than 1,000, Lebanon's health ministry said. Israel's military said it targeted sites of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, but several strikes hit densely packed commercial and residential areas without warning during rush hour, leading to widespread civilian casualties."
"Lebanese president Joseph Aoun called the attacks 'barbaric.' Lebanese Civil Defence spokesperson Elie Khairallah told The Associated Press that a wounded woman was found alive under the rubble overnight in the seaside Beirut neighbourhood of Ain Mreisseh, and a man was found alive in his collapsed apartment building in Beirut's southern suburbs."
"At hospitals, survivors and doctors described the carnage. 'I thought I was dead. What happened? A big flash of light struck my face and eyes and I found someone flying over and landing next to me. He was dead,' said Rabee Koshok from his bed at Makassed hospital in Beirut."
