Israel's massive aerial bombardment of Lebanon killed at least 558 people on Monday in what is the highest single-day death toll in Lebanon in nearly two decades. Thousands more have been injured in strikes that targeted hospitals, medical centers and ambulances, while tens of thousands of civilians have been forced from their homes. "It has been havoc," says Michelle Eid, editor-in-chief of Al Rawiya, in Beirut, describing attempts by family members to flee the attacks in the south. "The speed with which this has happened has been incredibly shocking," says Lebanese writer and translator Lina Mounzer. "Once Lebanon goes up in flames, it's also very likely that the entire region goes up in flames."
