Israel-Lebanon: How Israeli rockets emptied a Mediterranean village in Lebanon

"Why, why us?" cries Milad Eid, his anguish clear over the breaking phone line.

An hour earlier, he was dousing a fire at a house that had been hit by an Israeli missile. While he was there, a bomb struck another one.
His village, Alma al-Shaab, lies in southern Lebanon just over a kilometre from the Israeli border.
Since October last year, it has been caught in cross-border fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, the Shia Muslim organisation which is politically influential and in control of the most powerful armed force in Lebanon.
