Lebanon: Families stuck in Nabatieh watch as Israel destroys historic neighbourhoods

Israeli raids have wiped out almost all of Nabatieh's early 20th-century market, the heart of the city.

From their home in Nabatieh’s historic city centre, Amina Bitar and her family have watched as homes and shops around them have fallen into piles of blackened rubble. The family is one of roughly seven stuck in the southern Lebanese city with nowhere to go, as Israel's heavy bombardment continues.
Amina, 31, gestured to the large cracks in her home’s 100-year-old stone walls and to the window panes shattered by Israeli blasts, leaving their Ottoman-style ornate frames bare. She walked up to the terrace, where the extent of damage to her neighbourhood was clear. Just across the street, a giant crater could be seen where her neighbour’s home once was. To the left, two cars were stuck in a pile of charred debris, their window panes blown out and doors left ajar. Despite the strength of the nearby blasts, the herbs potted on the terrace were still alive. Amina dusted off a fresh basil plant and plucked one of its leaves to breathe in its scent. Just as she took a breath, an Israeli warplane swooped overhead.
