‘We are terrorised’ on the ground in Beirut

On Friday 27 September, an Israeli airstrike on Beirut killed the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Lebanon announced three days of mourning. Now Israel has launched a ground attack on southern Lebanon, after trading almost daily fire with Hezbollah for 11 months. The Israeli military claims its ground invasion is a ‘limited, localised and targeted’ operation against Hezbollah infrastructure, but at least 1 million civilians have been forced to leave their homes, and more than 1,000 Lebanese people have been killed. Reporter Chérine Yazbeck tells Nour Haydar how Nasrallah’s support base has responded to his assassination, and why she won’t leave Lebanon despite living in fear for her life
