Lebanese families of Israeli strike victims in Beirut seek justice
Lebanese families of Israeli strike victims in Beirut seek justice Standing before their devastated building in central Beirut, childhood neighbours Wael Sabbagh and Ghida Krisht vow to fight for justice after an Israeli strike killed their family members. On 8 April, hours after a ceasefire was announced between the United States and Iran, Israel launched a massive wave of air strikes across Lebanon, including at the heart of the capital, killing more than 350 people. Sabbagh's mother and brother, and Krisht's parents and another relative, were killed in a strike on a building in central Beirut's affluent Tallet al-Khayat district, on what Lebanese now refer to as Black Wednesday.
