On October 30, 2024, an Israeli airstrike destroyed Fadi's home in Bednayel, killing all eight of his family members.

In the aftermath, Fadi discovered his brother's dismembered body and found his niece's hand 20 meters away from the wreckage.

Fadi, who supported Hezbollah politically, highlighted the tragedy of civilian casualties by recalling personal items of his deceased nephew and niece.

On the day of the airstrike, at least 10 of the 14 strikes in the Northern Bekaa Valley were found to be outside the Israeli military's designated evacuation zone.

The ongoing conflict in the region has escalated into broader hostilities, particularly involving Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in increased Israeli airstrikes and a ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

Since the conflict's escalation, which began on October 7, 2023, over 1,400 people have died due to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, including significant casualties from airstrikes.

In Gaza, Israeli military actions have led to tens of thousands of deaths and a severe humanitarian crisis, with many residents facing famine-like conditions.

Intense Israeli bombing commenced on October 28, 2024, causing over 60 deaths in the region prior to evacuation orders being issued.

Despite the evacuation orders, many villages, including Bednayel, received no prior warning of the impending bombings.

The hospital director noted that the prior calm in the Bekaa Valley had been shattered by the renewed focus of Israeli bombings following the escalation.

Amir al-Nimr, a young survivor of a separate bombing, suffered severe injuries and lost three family members but expressed his determination to remain despite the ongoing danger.

Amidst the conflict, the United States continues to support Israel with military supplies and funding, despite political tensions and calls for humanitarian aid.
