Infant killed at father's funeral as Israeli strikes continue across Lebanon

Sunday, 12 April 2026, 15:00 · 1 min read

Taleen Saeed, an 18-month-old Lebanese girl, was killed alongside three other family members when an Israeli airstrike hit her home in Srifa (a village in south Lebanon) on Wednesday — the same day she had come to attend her father's funeral. The strike came on the first day of a US-Iran ceasefire that many in Lebanon had hoped would extend to their own country, yet Israeli bombardment that day killed more than 350 people across Lebanon. Israel's military said it lacked sufficient details to investigate the incident, while Pope Leo, in his Sunday address at St. Peter's Square, called for a ceasefire and urged the protection of civilians from what he described as the "horrific effects of war."
