An Israeli airstrike on a six-story apartment in Ain El Delb, Lebanon, killed 73 people, with 62 identified as civilians, including 23 children. The Israel Defense Forces claimed the building was a Hezbollah command center and eliminated a commander. However, a BBC investigation found only 6 victims linked to Hezbollah's military wing, none senior. Survivors like Ashraf Ramadan recount harrowing escapes, with many losing entire families. The attack is Lebanon's deadliest in 18 years, sparking UN concern over Israel's tactics. Over 3,960 people have died in Lebanon in the ongoing conflict, with proportionality and civilian safety under scrutiny.
