People fleeing Lebanon 

Israel launched hundreds of air attacks in southern and eastern Lebanon on Monday, killing  hundreds of people.

Thousands of families from southern Lebanon packed cars and minivans with suitcases, mattresses, blankets and carpets and jammed the highway heading north toward Beirut to flee.

Twelve-year-old Zahra woke up afraid on Monday morning.

“I was so stressed because of the bombs,” the little girl from Borj Qalaouiye said.

Zahra’s village lies between Nabatieh and Bint Jbeil in south Lebanon, but in October last year, she and her family fled to Laylaki in Beirut’s southern suburbs, shortly after Hezbollah and Israel began exchanging cross-border attacks.

On the same day, she got another fright.

In total, around 80,000 messages were sent.
