Airwars assessment
Five members of the same family – including two women, one man, one child, and one infant – were reportedly killed in an alleged Israeli bombardment on the Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil, located in al-Nabatieh governorate close to the southern border with Israel, on Wednesday 25th September 2024.
Whilst the Lebanese Health Ministry, as cited by Turkish-based news network Syria TV, initially reported that three people had been killed in the incident, sources such as news Bintjbeil later identified five people to have been killed.
The five civilians killed in the incident came from three generations of the same family. Abeer Munif Nassar was killed alongside her daughter Ghadir Qasim Ne’meh Baydoun – who was a young woman – and her two sons, the young man Ali Qasim Ne’meh Baydoun and the child Hadi Qasim Ne’meh Baydoun. The infant Hassan Mohammed Zuraiq, the grandson of Abeer Munif Nassar, was also killed in the alleged Israeli airstrike.
Hanaa Kassas Ch, the sister of Abeer Munif Nassar, mourned those killed in a Facebook post, offering her condolences to their family and writing, “May God have mercy on them and grant you long life and may their souls rest in peace.” She also posted photos in memory of all five of those killed. Both Abeer and Ghadir are pictured wearing black hijabs, while Ali can be seen sporting a black t-shirt. Hadi smiles at the camera with a birthday cake, on which an ‘8’ candle can be seen. Hassan, the infant, wears a blue-striped onesie and is seen smiling.
Where sources identified the belligerent, all sources attributed the strike to Israeli forces.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:
