Now to Lebanon, Israel continued waves of heavy airstrikes in the capital, Beirut, after Hezbollah began firing on Israel earlier this week in support of its patron, Iran.

Nearly 85,000 people in the city have been displaced already, according to the government of Lebanon.

The Israeli military has started a ground incursion into southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah chief,

Naim Qasem, said that the group, quote, will not surrender no matter the sacrifices.

Special correspondent, Simone Fultin, met with the people fleeing the bombardment of Beirut's

southern suburbs and sent us this report.

The war has returned to Beirut, with civilians once again bearing the brunt.

Tens of thousands have run from Israel's punishing bombing campaign, many seeking safety in schools,

repurposed into shelters.

Rima Shahin fled Beirut's southern suburbs in the middle of the night with her husband, two children,

and her two-year-old granddaughter, Matilda, still dressed in her pink pajamas.

They left everything behind.

We were bombed without any warning.

It was three in the morning.

We didn't take any clothes or anything else.

We just grabbed the girl and some milk

and diapers and we left. Rima supports Hezbollah's decision to re-enter the war. For more than

a year, the Iran-backed group had largely complied with a ceasefire agreed in November 2024,

showing restraint even as Israel committed daily violations.

We respected the ceasefire for a year and a half. Israel didn't. Israel does what it wants.

They attack every day as they please.

Hezbollah's supporters felt the situation was untenable. The situation in the South was bad, but we were also not doing well.
