0:00On April 8th, in South Lebanon, 34-year-old Hussein Salay makes a daily trip to the rubble where his home in Tire once stood. And Israeli strike on March 6th wiped it out, killing his wife, his five-year-old daughter Sarah, his sister-in-law, her husband, their two kids, and two aunts, eight family members total. Saleh sifts through the debris for small reminders, like a phone or a tattered book. Anything to ease the pain. He was out grocery shopping when the missile hit, and the blast mangled the body so badly he had to bury them in pieces, unable to sort them properly. Since early March, Israeli operations have killed over 1,500 people in Lebanon amid the war with Hezbollah, including 100. 30 children and 101 women per health ministry figures, a two-week ceasefire kicked in this week between the U.S. and Iran, and Hezbollah paused its attacks, but Israel keeps striking Lebanon as prime. Minister Netanyahu may clear, it's not part of the deal.

1:01Saleh insists his family were all civilians, no military targets there. His little girl was in therapy, just two months from walking on her own again, and now Saleh battles crushing loneliness, his whole world upended by. This loss that hits harder every day. That's your global news today update, AI-powered and always on.
