The attack killed three girls and their grandmother and wounded their mother. The family had been traveling from south Lebanon to Beirut in the late afternoon, following heavy shelling by Israeli forces in the area earlier that day, Samir Ayoub, the girls' uncle, said in a televised interview the night of the attack. Ayoub, a journalist, was traveling in a separate car in front of the car that was hit. "This attack by Israeli military forces that struck a car carrying a family fleeing violence shows a reckless disregard for civilian life," said Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch. &qu
