Beirut Under Bombardment: Civilians Pay the Price in a 10-Minute Israeli Strike Blitz

In a 10-minute wave of Israeli airstrikes across Lebanon, including Beirut’s Barbour district, at least 254 people were killed and 1,165 wounded, with civilians — including children — bearing the heaviest toll as hospitals were overwhelmed by crush injuries and mass casualties. The strikes hit densely populated neighborhoods, contradicting claims of targeting Hezbollah, and forced more than a million people to flee or seek shelter. The broader war has left thousands dead and raised fears of further escalation, while residents and officials call for international scrutiny of the attacks.

Tehran Quietens as War Drags On, Civilians Flee and Security Tightens

After two weeks of deadly bombardment by the United States and Israel, Tehran has grown quiet and largely empty as residents flee or stay indoors; security forces patrol at night and only pro-government demonstrations occur. The war has killed more than 1,348 civilians in Iran and displaced up to 3.2 million people, with inflation and economic distress adding to daily hardship as some cling to hope for regime change while others feel exhausted and uncertain about the future.

Ghost towns, shattered families as Lebanon endures intensified Israeli strikes

Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have intensified, wiping out families like Batoul Hamdan’s in Arab Salim and turning towns such as Nabi Chit and Nabatieh into ghost towns. With a death toll of about 773 Lebanese people (over 100 children) since March 2 and thousands displaced, the conflict has escalated beyond the 2023-24 flare‑up. Israel has displaced roughly 1 million people and conducted strikes deep inside Beirut, while issuing displacement orders for southern Lebanon to aid operations against Hezbollah. The piece centers on personal tragedy and frontline testimony from residents, aid workers, and officials amid the fear of further invasions and ongoing bombardment.

Drone attack on Sudan market raises civilian toll amid widening air war

Drone attack on Adikong market in western Sudan killed 11 and wounded dozens as fighting between the SAF and RSF intensifies; the UN says drone strikes have killed more than 200 civilians in the Kordofan and White Nile regions in just over a week. MSF treated more than 20 of the wounded and noted this is at least the second deadly drone strike in the area in under a month. Experts say drones—cheap, easily deployed, and aimed at civilians—are becoming a defining feature of the conflict, contributing to a humanitarian emergency with tens of millions in need and millions displaced.

Trump blames Iran for deadly girls’ school strike, denies US role

President Trump said Iran carried out the Feb. 28 strike that killed more than 165 people at a girls’ elementary school in southern Iran, denying U.S. involvement and diverging from earlier White House statements. Defense Secretary Hegseth echoed a cautious posture while labeling Iran as the attacker; satellite and military assessments have suggested U.S. airstrikes near the target, fueling debate over responsibility. Iranian leaders condemned the strike and pressed for international scrutiny as investigations continue.

Eight Days In: US-Israel War Expands Across the Middle East

A week into the US-Israel war with Iran, fighting has broadened across the region: Israel has carried out a wide campaign against Tehran (including blasts at Mehrabad airport) while the US says it has struck over 3,000 Iranian targets in the past week. Iran reports more than 1,230 dead, including children, and Lebanon has seen extensive strikes with hundreds dead or wounded and the Norwegian Refugee Council estimating nearly half a million displaced there. Two Ghanaian UN peacekeepers were critically injured in Lebanon as Iran and Hezbollah fire back and Gulf states report drone and missile activity. The UN warns the conflict could spiral out of control, diplomatic efforts are urged, and President Trump says there will be no deal with Iran except an unconditional surrender, with no clear end timeline in sight.

Satellite imagery points to targeted U.S. airstrike near Iran school

Satellite imagery and U.S. officials say a Feb. 28 blast at Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab likely stemmed from a U.S. airstrike hitting a nearby Revolutionary Guard complex, killing more than 165 people, mostly students; Iran and Israel deny responsibility. The Pentagon is investigating, while the UN and human‑rights groups condemn strikes on schools. Independent verification is lacking, but experts note damage patterns and proximity to Guard facilities suggest a targeted strike.
