Israel has often struck alleged Hezbollah militants or officials in their homes without warning, frequently in parts of Lebanon far from the front line, when they are with their families, in apartment buildings surrounded by uninvolved neighbors
Jawad Younes, 11, and his cousins were playing soccer in the lot between their houses, as they often did. His little brother, 4-year-old Mehdi, had joined them but grew tired, so Jawad took him home and handed him off to their mother before returning to the game. Minutes later, an Israeli strike came.
