One month has passed since April 8, a day Lebanon will not forget. In a matter of minutes, more than 350 lives were lost.
On the afternoon of April 8, 2026enemy forces launched over a hundred airstrikes in ten minutes across Beirut’s neighborhoods, the Bekaa Valley, and the south. The attacks came just hours after a ceasefire had been announced between the United States and Iran, at a moment when many Lebanese were allowing themselves to hope the worst was over. Instead, it became the deadliest single day of the war.
One month on, we pause to remember every face, every name, every family that was changed forever that Wednesday afternoon. And yet the losses have not stopped — since a formal ceasefire was announced on April 16th, dozens more have been killed, with homes being bombed with total impunity.
For every life taken, for every person injured, for every family changed forever — we remember.
