Hundreds of mourners have chanted “death to Israel” and “America is the Great Satan” at the funeral of two children killed in an Israeli strike on Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut the day before, AFP reports.
“I feel very angry because the … lives of our children are becoming very cheap,” said Aya Ahmed, 38, a friend of the two killed children’s mother.
“Every mother now is thinking: I could lose my children at any moment because the Israelis have a licence to kill,” said Ahmed.
