Skies over the border of Lebanon again shook at the thunder of fighter planes. But this isn’t news stuff it is a human tragedy that shook the lives of thousands of innocents. Communities still are in shock unable to tell what exactly was happening, yet with a sense of fear.
A Broken Peace — Ceasefire Collapses
Despite the ceasefire agreement following the protracted conflict of 2024, the fragile truce is now broken. Israeli officials say the air strike campaign is targeted at Hezbollah and Hamas sites which have remained despite the truce.

Where Dreams Shatter — Stories of Ordinary Civilians
The country’s civilians can’t but be left shell-shocked and nervous. Pictures from the regions that are affected depict a fallen building a disarrayed market and the wails of the children reverberating in the streets. These people, who are farmers, market vendors, educators and mothers led a simple life before the bombings rocked their communities.
In the southern village of Kfar Hitta, families huddled outside their houses, frightened and the village’s elderly women held on to their prayers hoping the fighting would soon stop.

A Palestinian Refugee Camp — A Worker’s Tale
Airstrikes also targeted the region around the refugee camp known as Ain al-Hilweh.
This particular camp stands out as it is currently considered the largest refugee camp in Lebanon among people from Palestine. The residents live in fear since this camp represents the only location where children can dream of a life filled with peace.
A young man living in the camp shared:
We’ve seen war before, but this pain is different. Every time the jets roar overhead, we lose another hope the hope of school for our children, the hope of returning to our fields, the hope of a normal day.
Why the Strikes Continue — Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Ceasefire Reality
The Israeli government asserts that the bombing is targeting the military positions of Hezbollah and Hamas which are still operative despite the ceasefire agreement.
However, Lebanese authorities view this as a clear violation of the truce deepening wounds in an already tense region. The Lebanese president and multiple leaders condemned the attacks:
These strikes are not only hitting our border areas but are also wounding our hearts. Peace feels more distant than ever.
Global Attention — Is Peace Possible Again?
However, the way to peace is not so easy. Organizations worldwide, as well as foreign countries are urging people to remain calm. The Paris summit, which is to take place soon will focus on issues related to the security of Israel and Lebanon.

Where once bustling commercial and social centers existed, fear uncertainty and destruction now prevail.
A World Watching — Voices for Peace

Every bomb that explodes is a bitter reminder that the value of peace is well beyond what we pay for it. READ MORE
