Israel continues to target Lebanon’s infrastructure and bomb civilian neighborhoods. Over 90,000 Lebanese residents have fled to Syria. Many foreigners are unable to leave after Israel’s attack on Beirut’s international airport. In a report from Beirut, Washington Post reporter Anthony Shadid writes that Israel has “systematically dismantled the country’s infrastructure, displaced thousands of residents and instilled a new sense of foreboding and fear in the now-deserted streets of this brash, confident city still shadowed by the legacy of Lebanon’s 15-year civil war.”
