Civil Defense Force workers say civilians are increasingly among the dead and injured.

Israel says it is only targeting Hezbollah fighters, weapons and infrastructure.

In the past week alone 160 people were killed in the Bekaa Valley , eastern Lebanon .

Hezbollah is still firing rockets daily towards Israel , but Israel estimates it has destroyed two-thirds of its rocket and missile stockpile.

UN estimates that every day in October at least one child was killed and 10 injured in Israeli attacks.

Hezbollah is committed to Israel ’s destruction, but it is more than a militant group.

It is the most powerful political force in Lebanon and a social movement.

Despite US -led ceasefire talks, neither side appears willing to back down.

Most of Lebanon ’s shelters for the displaced are full, says Samir .

“Some of the pictures are stuck in our head,” he says, adding that they will never go away.
