| Here to document Israeli crimes in Lebanon
Journalist Radwan Mortada recounted the story of 62-year-old martyr Ahmad Tormos from the town of Tallousa, south Lebanon, who was killed yesterday after receiving a direct call from the Israeli occupation army giving him an impossible choice: die alone, or die with those around him. Without hesitation, Ahmad chose to die alone and save his family. He drove away from them so the strike would not hit their home.
Moments later, an Israeli drone fired two missiles at his car, killing him. Mortada noted that similar “death calls” have reportedly been made to others in southern Lebanon, where men chose to walk toward death alone rather than allow their loved ones to be targeted. Ahmad had previously lost his son Hassan, who was martyred two years earlier. ///
