Presentation
Residents of Aitaroun, in southern Lebanon, take advantage of a temporary halt in Israeli airstrikes to flee their village, site of a weeklong siege of Hezbollah fighters by Israeli forces, August 1, 2006.
Several families were trapped in their homes for several days while Israeli bombardment flattened many of the surrounding homes. At the time, these brothers feared leaving their father behind in the village, as there were only enough vehicles to evacuate women and children.
