Lebanon is enduring its "worst moment," according to Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud, following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Israeli air strikes. The attacks, which have caused mass civilian casualties, included devastating bunker-busting bombs in Beirut. Families, such as Madina Mustafa Ali and her seven-month-old baby Amir, are now displaced and seeking refuge in Beirut’s Martyrs Square. Abboud expressed shock at the lack of international response, saying, "It's as if what’s happening here does not mean anything." As a three-day mourning period begins, Lebanon faces escalating tensions, with fears of Hezbollah retaliation and potential Iranian intervention.
