Some theories as to why the airstrikes seem particularly loud across the city today include that it's a Sunday, so there is less traffic, & the buildings they are hitting seem to all be really big ones. x.com/chehayebk/stat…

Sour/Tyre today. #lebanon

Lots of children and young people in the theatre today asking questions of election candidates about their safety The Ark Dublin Children's Rights Alliance

Why can't they give GPS locations or even label the streets?? Trying to Google their random landmarks & figure out where they're about to hit is so difficult (esp while panicked & w such short notice). Imagine (as always) the elderly, those with kids etc. x.com/AvichayAdraee/…

One *650m & one 1km from us. Opened windows and doors to avoid potential of shattered glass, then left and walked a bit further away while waiting for impact. So many terrified people across Lebanon today, still hoping for a ceasefire. #Beirut

A new airstrike sound just interrupted us watching TV news of the ceasefire announcement. #beirut #lebanon

Another loud one there? #beirut x.com/sallyhayd/stat…

In Balata refugee camp, Nablus, tonight, where Tarik Assi came home after more than two decades in Israeli prison.

A view of Gaza today 1km from where the blockade starts. In the few minutes I was allowed to stay I heard multiple explosions, heavy gunfire, & saw smoke rising from 4 or 5 places. Gazans have been locked in & trapped under this intense bombardment for close to 2 years now.
