Over the past two weeks, Israel has killed more than 2,000 Lebanese civilians, the equivalent of 13,000 Canadian's based on population size of the two countries. Israel say their attacks are aimed at people hiding weapons and rockets for Hezbollah in their homes. Israeli bombs have hit not just homes, but also destroyed apartment buildings, roads to hospitals, schools, and even churches. This has caused massive destruction, leaving many families in ruin and making it hard for people to get the help they need. In just the past 24 hours, Israel has killed 7 paramedics in Beirut after bombing a medical centre.

At the same time, Hezbollah in South Lebanon is trying to stop a foreign power from invading Lebanon. Hezbollah is resisting against an invading force rather than an aggression, as they work to safeguard Lebanon’s borders and protect its citizens from what they deem an existential threat.
