Amal Khalil, 43, was killed in the town of al-Tayri while covering the aftermath of earlier Israeli attacks alongside freelance photographer Zeinab Faraj, who was wounded.

According to reports, an initial air strike hit a car in front of them, prompting the pair to take shelter in a nearby house.

A second strike then hit the house, Lebanon’s health ministry and other sources said.

Rescuers managed to retrieve Faraj, who sustained a head injury. When they returned for Khalil, Israeli forces opened fire on the ambulance and deployed a stun grenade, preventing access to her, according to the health ministry.

Rescuers were only able to reach her hours later, finding her dead.

Abdelwahab carried bodies from the wreckage, half-closing his eyes so the blood and devastation would not slow him down. He kept going even after the civil defence teams arrived.

“I wore a mask, but I could smell the smoke - and the dead,” he said.

He saw dead bodies of men, women, elders and toddlers. Among those killed was Nader Khalil, who had worked at Rifai Nuts for 35 years.

“He was a nice man. I knew him because he bought water from me every day,” Abdelwahab said. “What did he do to deserve this?”

Excerpt:

One resident of Ras Ein al-Auja in the southern Jordan Valley said harassment targeting his family forced him to leave.

“What pushed me to relocate was the harassment my wife, daughters and daughter-in-law were experiencing. Settlers began approaching the shelters when my son and I left for work,” he said.

“They were watching the women closely, whistling when women went out of the shelters in broad daylight and throwing stones at us at night. I was terrified that something bad might happen to my family because of this constant settlers’ violence when I was away.”
