Ashraf Wani, reporting for India Today, delivers live updates from a town in South Lebanon, where an Israeli airstrike has reduced a multi-story building to rubble. Early Monday morning, an F-16 fighter jet dropped several bombs on the structure, causing its complete collapse.
"This was one of the most extensive assaults by Israel in Lebanon this past week," Wani reports. The attack follows the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut’s southern suburbs, escalating an already volatile situation in the region.
Behind Wani, the remnants of the building lie scattered across the area — a stark testament to the intensity of the strike. Rescue teams, racing against time, are digging through the debris, hoping to find survivors. While the chances of discovering anyone alive seem slim, the search continues with urgency.
"The mood here is one of chaos and heartbreak," Wani explains. Relatives and neighbours of the building’s residents gather anxiously nearby, their hopes dwindling as the hours pass. The community, paralysed by uncertainty, faces the painful reality of loss and destruction.
