Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah chief declared on Thursday that pager attacks on the country was an “act of war”. A British woman from Basingstoke who runs an NGO in Lebanon and would like to remain anonymous, says she’s not planning to come back to the UK, despite the Foreign Secretary’s advice. She describes the psychological toll that the recent Israeli attacks are taking on the population. “People are now too scared to sleep with their phones by their beds. People are scared of laptops they’ve been given by organisations, worrying they’re going to explode.”“I think it’s all just very uncertain,” she says, adding “I don’t know what it will take.
“I’ve spoken to my girlfriend a lot, and obviously people are really terrified. It’s a kind of a terrifying form of warfare that the world hasn’t seen before.”Green MP Carla Denyer, said on X that: “No country can be allowed to break international law with impunity. The attacks in Lebanon – widely presumed to be by Mossad – are killing civilians. The UK government should condemn them unequivocally, and robustly challenge Gallant’s trumpeted ‘new phase’ in a deadly war.
