A forgotten massacre in a village in Lebanon
Briefly

‘In the midst of calamity, I return to the rubble in search of memories, of my mother and sister who are forever gone,’ says Ashraf Ramadan, a survivor. He reflects on the personal loss amidst overwhelming destruction. The desire to find his sister's wallet symbolizes a yearning for connection and the hope to contribute to the already desperate situation of displaced people in southern Lebanon. In a moment of tragedy, the human spirit seeks to remember and honor those lost.
Hezbollah’s confirmation of Hassan Nasrallah’s death has sent shockwaves throughout Lebanon, triggering a dramatic escalation in tensions. The Israeli military’s response, including airstrikes and ground invasions, underscores a shift in regional dynamics. The focus has been drawn to Beirut and the tragedies within, yet the bombing in Ain El Delb, resulting in 71 deaths, has been buried under headlines dominated by Nasrallah’s demise.
The collapse of the Ain El Delb building in a rapid sequence following the missile strike illustrates the grim reality for many in southern Lebanon who are now reassessing their safety amidst renewed conflict. For those like Ashraf Ramadan, who are forced back to the site of their trauma, the search for remnants of life becomes a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of warfare on civilians.
