Video Description (from Youtube)

One week after losing their mother and brother in an unprecedented wave of Israeli strikes on Beirut, Ali and Wael Sabbagh are unable to bury their loved ones in their ancestral city of Nabatieh. “We

come from the south of Lebanon, from Nabatieh, and that is being bombarded on a daily basis. And we want them to be buried in the family cemetery. But unfortunately, we're unable to do that. So we're now having to have to bury them in a temporary burial site until the situation becomes safe enough for us to take them to the south,' says Wael.

Israel says it wants to create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon and maintain control of territory some 30 km north of its border with Lebanon.
