    Death toll is higher than 300, injured over 1200. They’re pulling bodies and survivors still. This is worse than August 4 2020. And they’re still fucking bombing!

    This is senseless, savage terrorism. I think I heard over a hundred thuds in Beirut during the first hour. What the fuck is wrong with these people

      It sounds like you’re in the affected area. Please accept my well wishes if that is indeed the case. What’s happening right now is disgusting beyond words, and I appreciate you giving your perspective

        I live where people run to for safety. This is supposed to be a normal safe part of Beirut. It’s quiet now and I’m fine but every year is an innovation in terrorism from this criminal entity.

        Thank you for the well wishes.
