In Lebanon, at least five people were killed and 31 others wounded Monday in an Israeli attack on a densely populated neighborhood in central Beirut. The airstrike tore through an apartment building near Lebanon’s Parliament and close to a United Nations building and several embassies. This is survivor Hussein Zahwa, whose family had fled earlier Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.

Hussein Zahwa: “At the time of the explosion, there was a lot of screaming, I mean, to the point that I could hear my little daughter, who is 7 years old, calling me, 'Dad! Dad! Dad!' Because of the smoke, they could not breathe. I don’t know how I went up. The gate that I was opening was on fire. It was burning. I don’t know how I opened it. I went up and pulled them from the rubble. Thank God it went well.”

UNICEF warns two months of Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 200 children and injured over 1,100. Spokesperson James Elder warned nations not to remain silent in the face of what he called the “normalization of horror” in Lebanon.

Meanwhile, a rocket fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon injured at least six Israelis and sparked a fire in Tel Aviv Monday night. In diplomatic news, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein said a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is “now within our grasp” after meeting with Lebanon’s Parliament and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati in Beirut today.
