While Israel said it conducted ‘extensive, precise strikes’ on about 800 targets, Lebanon’s health minister said the attack hit ambulances, fire trucks, medical centres and the cars of displaced people

Lebanese information minister Ziad Makary told Reuters news agency that his office was among the places that received a call. He described it as part of “a psychological war”. On social media Lebanese people shared appeals for, or offers of, cheap or free accommodation, with online forms set up to connect people with those willing to host them. Others complained that some people were taking advantage of the crisis to drastically raise prices.
Months of discussion around what many Lebanese people refer to as “the situation” has suddenly become much more frantic. Relatives and friends sent advice on WhatsApp about what to stockpile – rice, gas, wheat or water, for example – while neighbours had similar conversations in the streets. Petrol stations saw queues of cars, their drivers filling tanks with fuel in case it soon stops being available.
