There was to be another mass burial today.
90 people were to be buried in Tyre (Sour) today.
The burial had to be postponed to tomorrow. hopefully.
Why?
The Israeli bombardment, the constant threat of Israeli aggression, forced the postponement of the burial.

No comment.

The Israeli army invaded Ba'albeck last night.
They kidnapped 5 men. Civilians. From their homes.
They kidnapped 5 men - and took them to Israel.
They kidnapped 5 civilians.


The same night... in Ba'albeck
7 people were killed, 6 from one family. They were hiding under a tree.
"My father. My brother. My cousins." said one woman.

There were other Lebanese fathers, brothers, mothers, and daughters that were killed.
And, more to be killed.
The question: for how many tomorrows will this Israeli terrorism continue?

Refugees continue to leave the south, to seek shelter throughout the country.
They are sleeping in schools, in abandoned buildings, in extraordinarily cramped quarters.
The question is: how many months before their homes will be rebuilt?
How many months of forced homeless-ness?
