People in south Lebanon describe ‘clear sound’ of Israeli bombing

Residents in south Lebanon have told Middle East Eye that some people have left their villages out of fear the situation would escalate. There are also long queues forming at petrol stations.

“There is a widespread feeling of anxiety,” said Gulnar, speaking to Middle East Eye from the Bint Jbeil, a town some 13 kilometres from Aita al-Shaab, one of the villages bombed by Israel.

“The sound of Israeli bombing could be very clearly heard today. People were afraid that the situation will escalate, and many decided to stay indoors in case the attacks intensified.”
