On a Monday in late September 2024, Israeli warplanes struck Lebanon with a ferocity unseen in eighteen years, killing more than 270 people and wounding over a thousand in a single day. The bombardment — reaching from the southern border to the ancient city of Byblos — forced thousands from their homes in the largest displacement since the 2006 war, as hospitals burned and highways filled with the fleeing. Behind the smoke lies a conflict born of October 7th and sustained by the unresolved agony of Gaza, a reminder that wars rarely confine themselves to the borders we draw for them.
