Drop Site’s Sharif Kouddous reports from the southern Lebanese village of Kfarkela, which is in ruins after Israeli troops withdrew on February 18. Every single structure has been completely destroyed or badly damaged. It is mostly just piles of rubble.

It’s been 106 days since the IDF killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi. This week, her family came to DC to beg the US to do something.
They left meeting Antony Blinken “with no optimism."
And they told me the White House *still* hasn't reached out.
