Relatives mourn the loss of loved ones killed in an Israeli strike on November 5 in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel, in the town of Bilda. The victims include three children and their grandmother. "It is an intentional crime and they (Israelis) have committed it to scare people here," says one of the relatives, Samir Ayyoub. Since Hamas militants launched a shock October 7 attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, Lebanon's southern border has seen intensifying tit-for-tat exchanges, mainly between Israel and Hezbollah, an ally of the Palestinian group, stoking fears of a broader conflagration.
