Israel Continues Attacks on Lebanon, Killing 570 and Displacing 750,000

HeadlineMar 11, 2026

Israel continues its attacks on Lebanon with the war expanding to central Beirut. An Israeli strike on a Ramada hotel killed at least four people. Israel claimed it was targeting commanders from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. According to the Lebanese government, Israeli strikes have killed 570 people in Lebanon, including over 80 children, while 750,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. This is Bassima Ramadan, who witnessed an Israeli strike on a building near her.

Bassima Ramadan: “We were sleeping. At around 5:30 a.m., I was asleep with my husband. My son was still awake after coming back from work. The sound was indescribable. The fear is indescribable. Enough is enough. Enough. This is a nightmare. When will it end? We can’t — we really can’t endure it anymore.”
