Reporting live from Saida, the historic coastal city near these flashpoints, the grim details keep piling up. A densely populated Palestinian refugee camp—home to tens of thousands already living on the edge—takes a direct Israeli drone hit in its Hittin neighborhood. One dead, three wounded. No military target claimed here; just another strike in a civilian zone that’s seen repeated violence.
Saida isn’t a country village. It’s Lebanon’s third city; historic, bustling, resilient. When she reports from there at dusk, she’s forcing the world to look at a conflict that’s largely been memory-holed in the West.
New atrocities in southern Lebanon: Drone strike hits crowded Ein Al Hilwe camp, killing one and injuring three.
This comes on the heels of a horrific massacre in Sir Al Garbiya, where at least 19; many women and children were wiped out in an airstrike on a residential block.

Yesterday alone: airstrikes pounded 40 towns, drone attacks ripped through seven more, and artillery shelled nine. The running toll since early March? 394 killed, including dozens of children and women, and 1,130 injured. These aren’t abstract numbers—they’re families shattered, homes reduced to rubble, lives erased in what Lebanese officials call targeted terror.
And the bigger storm is brewing. Reports from Al Jazeera highlight a massive Israeli military buildup along the Lebanese border; tanks massing, troops advancing, evacuation orders forcing civilians north of the Litani. Ground incursions are underway in the south, clashing with Hezbollah amid a wider regional boil-over tied to strikes on Iran. It’s not containment anymore; it’s escalation.
Americans, take note: Your tax dollars fuel these airstrikes, drone hits, and civilian casualties. Day after day. The bill for these operations keeps climbing in blood and in budgets while the world watches another Middle East front spiral.
The violence isn’t slowing. If anything, it’s accelerating.
Courtney has taken death threats, heard Israeli loudspeakers warning her off, watched tanks creep closer and she keeps posting.
Bottom line: Most people scrolling have no real sense of the daily terror in Lebanon right now. Voices like Courtney’s are the difference between blackout and knowing.
Follow her. Watch. Share. Because in 2026, with the region teetering, she’s risking it all so we can’t pretend we didn’t see.
