In a painful scene reminiscent of the harsh memories of war, the Israeli enemy launched a series of violent airstrikes this morning, Thursday, targeting the Al-Jarmaq and Al-Mahmoudiya areas located on the eastern edges of the Al-Maydana – Kfar Remman plain in the Nabatieh district. The explosions resounded powerfully in the city of Nabatieh and its surrounding villages, at a time when people were going about their daily lives normally, and institutions, schools, and shops had opened their doors as usual.

What happened today was not on a holiday or in the early hours of the morning, but during a normal school day. The attack occurred while students were in classrooms and the roads were crowded with traffic. The scene suddenly turned from a quiet school day into a collective shock mixed with fear and bewilderment. Adults trembled, so how about the children?

According to information, cases of panic were recorded in a number of schools near the attack sites, especially those that heard the sound of the explosions directly. The scene inside the classrooms was difficult: small children crying bitterly, others frozen in terror, while teachers and administrators rushed to calm them down as much as possible, trying to contain the shock and prevent it from turning into a state of mass panic.

Despite the strength and violence of the attacks, none of the schools closed their doors. The administrations left the decision to the parents, and calls poured into the administrative phones from worried mothers and fathers asking about the situation, but the direction was clear: whoever wants to continue attending may do so, and whoever prefers to take their children has complete freedom without any problem.

However, the scene showed once again that the people of the South, despite the open wound, do not break. The schools did not close, the lights of the shops did not go out, and the people remained steadfast on their land. Yes, fear was present, and anxiety was clear, but life did not stop.

In a South that has been living on the firing line for decades, the enemy has no mercy, but the people there know only steadfastness.

They remain standing, whenever terror tries to bring them down, to reaffirm that life is stronger than war, and that the South — no matter how intense the raids are — remains alive as long as there are those who love the land and believe in it.
