Crowds Watch Israeli Airstrikes from a Beirut Hillside

Crowds gather on a hillside near Beirut to watch Israeli airstrikes on the Dahiya neighborhood. The area has become a nightly ritual for locals and journalists to witness the destruction caused by the war between Hezbollah and Israel. The Dahiya, home to mostly Shiite Muslims, has been pummeled by Israeli airstrikes, transforming it into a bombed-out ghost town. People are drawn to the hillside by a morbid fascination and a desire to hear the booms and see the smoke, making the horrors of the war feel real. Despite the destruction, residents of the Dahiya remain hopeful and rely on the information they gather from journalists on the hillside.
