Israeli strike kills infant girl in south Lebanon during father's funeral

TYRE, Lebanon April 12 (Reuters) - Wrapped in bloodied bandages, Aline Saeed, seven, barely survived the ​Israeli strike on her home in south Lebanon last week. She was there to bury her father as hopes of ‌a truce spread across the region, but a new strike killed her infant sister and other relatives.

The strike on the Saeed family home in the village of Srifa took place on Wednesday, the first day of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire that many in Lebanon hoped would apply to their country, too. Instead, Israeli strikes killed more than 350 across Lebanon ​and left the Saeed family with four more relatives to bury.

Iran wants a ceasefire for Lebanon as part of talks with the United States, which concluded on Sunday without a breakthrough. But Israel wants to pursue talks with Lebanese officials through a separate track.

Dr. Abbas ​Attiyeh, head of emergency operations at Tyre's Jabal Amel hospital, said last week's bombardment was ​one of the heaviest in recent years and many of the patients arriving at his hospital were children.

Though April bombings may come your way
They bring the profits that bloom in May
If kids are dying have no regrets
Because it isn't raining bombs you know, it's gaining us assets.

No lower scum on Planet Earth.
Such a club.
