Beirut, Lebanon – Wahala don burst as Israeli airstrike wey happen on Sunday kill five people for southern Lebanon, including three pikin dem from one family. According to the Lebanese government, dem say many of the dead fit be US citizens o, but di claim don get k-leg as dem dey argue am.
Di Israeli military talk say dem strike one Hezbollah operator for Bint Jbeil town, but dem admit say “some uninvolved civilians” join for di casualty count. Di military still dey regret say dem cause harm to innocent people, wey be nice way to say dem no wan kill people – but e still happen.
Nabih Berri, wey be Speaker of Lebanese Parliament, come drop bombshell say four US citizens dey among di dead, na him and hin three kids. Di mother of di family dey hospital, dey fight for hin life like say na di final match. But US State Department quickly reply say no be dem citizens wey die, gree both parties still dey argue who get correct news.
Lebanese state-run news also report say drone fire two missiles at one motorcycle and one Mercedes car. E be like say di motorcycle rider na di main target, but everyone for di car, including di papa and him children, come collect di wahala.
Lebanon’s Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam, no hold am back as e call di airstrike “massacre” against civilians. He dey vex say Israel dey use airstrike to intimidate people wey want go back to their village. E don call di international community make dem shout loud against Israel for di way dem dey treat di Lebanese people.
UNICEF come join di matter too as dem express shock for di killing of di children. Dem say, “No child suppose pay di price of conflict”, and na true talk, no be so? Di world suppose protect our children, not make dem dey die for wetin no concern dem.
As e dey be, Israel still dey continue di military operation despite di US-brokered ceasefire wey dem arrange with Hezbollah last year. Di ceasefire suppose allow Israel to withdraw down south but na only small portion dem comot, wey don lead to plenty wahala since den.
President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, wey dey New York go attend UN General Assembly, also don call for international action. He dey complain say Israel dey continue to dey sabo di international laws, “There can be no peace over di blood of our children,” he add. E no just dey talk, plenty people dey feel di pain.
This attack no be di first time dem dey cause wahala like dis; di past 12 months don see plenty back-and-forth between Hezbollah and Israel. Di thing don reach level wey dem dey lose lives like bread and butter.
Na so e be for Lebanon as di world watch di drama unfold like “Nollywood” movie, but dis no be movie o, na real people dey suffer here. E go better if dem fit settle di matter before more innocent blood dey spill.
