Weary Beirut Erupts in Anger as Hezbollah's War Reignites: Tens of thousands of Lebanese flee homes in eerily familiar scenes as Israeli strikes leave 52 people dead, sparking fury against the militant group.
Abu Yehya and his two sons awoke to the sound of bombing in the early hours of Monday morning. A dozen blasts, one just a few hundred metres away, sent them into the streets of Beirut's southern suburbs. They walked for four hours, bleary-eyed, until they reached the same spot in downtown Beirut where they had fled during the last conflict, 18 months earlier, and curled up on the asphalt. There, they learned Hezbollah had struck Israel, and Lebanon was once again at war.
