After evacuating her family from the village of Seddiqine in southern Lebanon, Feryal Mehsen went back to fetch belongings. It was then that an Israeli airstrike hit close by. Israel's bombardment of southern villages in Lebanon, striking what it says are sites linked to the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, has driven tens of thousands of people like Mehsen, 58, from their homes. As Israeli strikes intensified across southern Lebanon, with Hezbollah firing at targets in northern Israel, the family joined the throng of displaced people seeking refuge in Lebanon's capital, Beirut.
